"If your idea of an excellent summer night is telling ghost stories
around the campfire, you'll be jumping for (horrific) joy over
Slasher Girls & Monster Boys."—Bustle
“Terrifying and new . . . There’s nary a clunker in the
collection—this is satisfying, disturbing horror for the modern YA
audience.” —Publishers Weekly
“Murderous neighbors, creepy bathtubs, and lots of blood . . . Full
of thrills and chills [and] gross, creepy fun.” —Kirkus Reviews
"This killer collection will satisfy any thriller junkie."—Booklist
Online
"Satisfyingly diverse and compelling. . . . The majority of the
protagonists are female [but] not one is a helpless victim. Many
contributors subvert and complicate the roles of protagonist and
antagonist, keeping readers on their toes . . . After encountering
the horrors here, variously supernatural and disturbingly human,
readers may want to leave the lights on.—The Horn Book
“Will scare, thrill, and terrify."—VOYA
“A ton of terrifying mini thrillers that take inspiration from
classic stories. There’s a bit of supernatural in here, some
gore-filled-horror, terrifying creatures . . . something for
everybody.”—Book Riot
