“Trisha Wooldridge is a total original, with a gift for weaving beauty and darkness, whimsy and horror, sometimes in the same story. If this is your first taste of her fiction, consider yourself lucky to have discovered her!” — Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of All Hallows and Road of Bones
To whom do monsters pray when burdened with the cruelty of the world who so named them “monster”?

From irreverent mothers to genetically modified cats, meet the divine and mortal monsters in this collection of fiction and poetry.

“Where Monsters Pray is a fantastical, horrifying gallop through the terrors that emerge when facing life’s real monster: a shift in perception.” – Kristi Petersen Schoonover, Founding Editor 34 Orchard
“However fantastical, the reader will recognise the real and all too human pain and betrayal in each offering. Who are the real monsters, and why will they so often escape consequences? … The collection is wonderfully queer in both senses of the word… Trisha J. Wooldridge is one hell of a writer.” — Carmilla Voiez, Ginger Nuts of Horror
“Unicorns, zombie parasites, murderous designer cats, and tentacled women populate this satisfyingly gruesome collection of queer and feminist stories. Wooldridge (Shadow, Ash, and Prophecy) explores what it means to be a monster, as her outsider characters seek revenge, escape, connection, and redemption, leaving chaos in their wake. [Her] confident voice and reclamation of monstrosity will appeal to creature-feature and pulp horror fans seeking a feminist twist on traditional tropes.”– Publisher’s Weekly
