Twelve women. Twelve horrors disguised as love. In Anya Martin’s new collection of horror tales: a teenage girl faces the consequences of wishing her dog could live forever; a romantic college student wakes a gargoyle in Paris; and a lonely woman finds her house infested with insects. History’s darker depths are delved as an American jazz singer confronts her lover who has committed terrible war crimes as he descends into madness in post-WW2 Germany; and a couple experiences H.P. Lovecraft’s Resonator machine via found footage from the Velvet Underground. In the publisher’s favorite tale: Actress Elsa Lanchester reveals the true story of Bride of Frankenstein involving the preserved brain of Karl Marx’s daughter in 1923 London.

Industry Reviews

"In Anya Martin's gorgeous debut collection, the weird and the fantastic live side by side with characters and places at once extraordinary but somehow curiously familiar too. From insects invading a woman's life bit by bit, to a meeting between Bride of Frankenstein actress Elsa Lanchester and the brain of Karl Marx's daughter, these stories will haunt and intrigue you long after the final pages. Beautiful, heartbreaking, and with precisely the right dose of the unsettling, Sleeping With the Monster is an unforgettable foray into the strange that you don't want to miss." - Gwendolyn Kiste, author of The Rust Maidens and Pretty Marys All in a Row
