"(A)stonishing and fantastic ... go get the book ...."
-- The Haunted Reading Room
"Snyder is known for short fiction that expands tropes and puts a new spin on old genres. In these twelve stories you will find influences from classic horror figures like H.P. Lovecraft and Ambrose Bierce, but you won't find the same characters or plot devices. With the ability to write across many genres and a keen eye for injustice, Snyder brings new voices to life ...."
-- Ohioana Library Newsletter
"All told, Garden of Eldritch Delights is a wonderful collection that can tickle your fancy and tingle your spine, often in the same story. Each new tale weaves another world of speculative rapture that will engulf you with unrelenting fervor. Here the fantastic is laid bare, opening up new dimensions of genre writing that alternately thrills and enchants."
-- Nightmarish Conjurings
"I absolutely recommend checking out Garden of Eldritch Delights if you are at all interested in feminist or Lovecraftian horror!"
