A YALSA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers
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 OnlineSatisfyingly diverse and compelling. . . . The majority of the protagonists are female [but] not one is a helpless victim.

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
