Praise for Slasher Girls & Monster Boys:
“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

“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

“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
