Several online magazines have reviewed my books and stories (if you're looking for reviews that I've written, check out Look What I Found In My Brain!).
ChiZine's review of Sparks and Shadows:
Snyder's work is vibrant and resonant and superbly measured ... Short, sharp, and sometimes slightly shocking, (her) fiction is always memorable. ... (T)he stories in Sparks and Shadows weave a spell that'll prove hard to shake. It really is a bacchanalia in there, and you just might find you don't want to turn the last page. Nicely presented as a limited edition from HW Press with a distinctive Deena Warner cover, this volume belongs in any serious dark fantasy collection. (read more)
FearZone's review of Sparks and Shadows:
(N)o matter what kind of story you like - romantic, creepy, violently scary, Hitchcockian, devilishly clever, or packed with fantastic adventure, you'll find something in this book that will seem written just for you. And along the way, you'll discover that you hold in your hands the works of a superior writer. (read more)
Green Man Review's take on Sparks and Shadows:
(N)ot only does Lucy A. Snyder write truly intelligent horror that is both witty and political but her stories and poems tap the feminist potential of horror to illuminate the shadowy extremes of both love and hate. ... (Snyder's writing) reminds us that horror is as much a girl thing as it ever was a guy thing. Yet, Snyder never preaches or lectures, she just entertains you with manic pieces like "Camp Songs: Innocent Fun or Diabolical Brainwashing Plot?" and "The Dickification of the American Female."

Hellnotes on Sparks and Shadows:
(T)his has to be, hands down, the best collection I've read since Joe Hill's 20th Century Ghosts. ... Lucy Snyder means business, people. She is here to kick ass and take names." (read more)
Sequential Tart's review of Sparks and Shadows:
The short stories and poems in Lucy Snyder's debut collection range from dark to very dark to sexy to hopeful, often with a wry twist of humor ... Highly recommended for lovers of the creepy and twisted. (read more)
Horror Reader's evaulation of Sparks and Shadows:
At times poignant, witty, erotic, thoughtful, chilling and maniacally gleeful, Sparks and Shadows is a delightful collection and book length introduction to an author to watch. (read more)
SFReader.com's review of Installing Linux on a Dead Badger:
It's rare to find a writer who can combine social commentary, popular culture, and science fiction without cheapening the laughs, but this author's balanced the act to perfection. With smart, well-crafted writing, and humor to tickle readers of varying tastes and genre preference, Lucy A. Snyder could be one of the funniest new writers on the planet. (read more)
Dread Central's take on Installing Linux on a Dead Badger:
If, like me, you've ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes in the Information Technology departments of large corporations, this book will either open your eyes to new possibilities, or just confirm what you've suspected all along. (read more)

Tangent Online has reviewed several of the stories in Installing Linux on a Dead Badger:
"The Great Vüdü Linux Teen Zombie Massacree" by Lucy Snyder is a hilarious romp through the state of Texas in a world gone mad ... one laugh effortlessly follows the other. (read more)
Snyder, like her Linux gangs, has taken a dead body (in this case, cyberpunk) and fused it with the latest elements of science fiction to tell a story which is funny, dark, and cheerfully absurd. (read more)
"Graveyard Shift" is Lucy A. Snyder's whip-smart and darkly funny take on the latest hot employee group, the dead ... Laced with jet-black humor, this is a great story and a great world to read about, if not live in. (read more)
My short fiction has been reviewed by a variety of other publications:
"Very funny and well-written, and a nice satirical comment on the lengths corporations will go to in order to stay ahead."
— Jason Lundberg on "Your Corporate Network and the Forces of Darkness""Both funny and creepy at the same time ... there's something to be said about (a story) arguing the pros and cons between raising the dead and calling up the Old Ones."
— The Grin Without A Cat on "Your Corporate Network and the Forces of Darkness""A mixture of the surreal, the macabre, and mythical ... This story is one you must read, think about, dream about, then perhaps re-read it because it refuses to leave your mind."
— reviewer S. Joan Popek on "Soul Searching""Lucy Snyder's 'The Sheets Were Clean And Dry' is fittingly seductive and darkly erotic, and only a publisher like Gauntlet would have the balls to understand that some horror is best when it is allowed to remain untouched, and not diluted like the fare on Showtime's Masters of Horror."
— Joshua Jabcuba's review of Masques V at Squib Central"'The Sheets Were Clean and Dry' by Lucy A. Snyder is a dark and violent story ... and extremely powerful. It's another one of my favorites."
— Dread Central's review of Masques V"Powerful and distressing."
— SF Site reviewer Hank Luttrell on "Souls to Take"
