Le Guin along with valuable information on the various subgenres of fantasy and horror. "Lucy Snyder has seen some shit, brother. She's been through the trenches; she knows the way the world comes down. You can feel it in the work. This lady is not only courageous, she's fearless. We need more like her ...." -- author Tom Piccirilli, from his introduction to Snyder's Chimeric Machines "Lucy Snyder is straight up gangsta." -- Maurice Broaddus, author of The Knights of Breton Court "There is no other writer working today quite like Lucy A.
