Monique Snyman

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 series, Dark Country . Visit moniquesnyman.com to find out more!

Get Hooked on Siren Songs and Mermaid Tales

There’s always been something a little … suspicious about mermaids and sirens. Stories of their hypnotic songs and mesmerizing beauty have enchanted sailors for centuries, but what if there was more to the legend?
