Crystal Lake welcomes Monique Snyman. This is one of those signings/announcements that’s been long in the making, and therefor will only be released next year. Monique’s THE EASTER MAIDENS will be released in February 2026. Don’t worry, authors. We’ll announce an open submission really soon.
Monique Snyman’s mind is a confusing bedlam of glitter and death, where candy-coated gore is found in abundance and homicidal unicorns thrive. Sorting out the mess in her head is particularly irksome before she’s ingested a specific amount of coffee, which is equal to half the recommended intake of water for humans per day. When she’s not playing referee to her imaginary friends or trying to overdose on caffeine, she’s doing something with words—be it writing, reading, or editing.
Monique Snyman lives in Pretoria, South Africa, with her husband, daughter, and an adorable Chihuahua. She’s the author of the Bram Stoker Award® nominated novels, The Night Weaver and The Bone Carver, and the South African horror novel, Dark Country.
