A book that can’t be put down. I think as expecting a spooky and quirky story - I picked this up near the YA section of my local bookstore. It is SO much more than that.
I’m not sure how to summarise it. You NEED to read it yourself if you’re at all into mysteries and horror and the dread of growing up. It is gore galore, so it could be a bit much for those who don’t have much of a stomach for that.
I dearly wish this combination of authors will collaborate again!

This is a book about being a teenage weirdo, and how what gets you through is finding other weirdos.
The best thing about writing it was that it was like an elaborate long-term game of make believe with one of MY favourite weirdos, Dale Halvorsen.
It was enormous fun to write. 5 stars! Would write again!
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed coming up with it.
