Doing my best to finish Blogtober, in spite of how rough things have been lately! Today I look back on Lucy Snyder’s 2015 collection While the Black Stars Burn, an excellent and haunting collection of cosmic horror that to me seem to explore vulnerability and betrayal. This was the collection that introduced me to Snyder’s work, and we became Twitter friends after that and I’ve been delighted to see her work reach an increasingly greater audience, as her recent novel Sister, Maiden, Monster has.
