She’s currently working on her fourth book in the Jessie Shimmer series, Devils’ Field (which was financed by a successful Kickstarter campaign), and her poetry will be featured in the forthcoming young adult horror anthology Scary Out There. Throughout her career, she has (almost gleefully) defied clichés and reveled in contradiction: She was raised in what she calls the “cactus-and-cowboys” area of Texas, but her work is often urban in setting and tone she has published collections of both erotica (Orchid Carousals) and humorous essays about computers (Installing Linux on a Dead Badger) she can be outspoken about the difficulties facing women in publishing, but she also calls her urban fantasy series (which began in 2009 with Spellbent) “guy-friendly” and this year she won the Bram Stoker Award® for both Fiction Collection and Nonfiction. Lucy Snyder is one of those rare genre-hopping writers who are equally at home in horror, science fiction, poetry, or nonfiction.
