Praise for Slasher Girls & Monster Boys

PRAISE FOR Slasher Girls and Monster Boys:

"The horror stories contributed by 14 prominent young adult authors for this collection are no less gloriously horrifying than a "Carrie"-length tome. But you can easily read one in a sitting."--The Chicago Tribune

"[A] gruesome collection of horror stories . . . With both variety and familiarity at play, there's nary a clunker in the collection--this is satisfying, disturbing horror for the modern YA audience."--Publishers Weekly

"For those readers who enjoy Stephen King or Alfred Hitchcock, these will definitely fit the bill . . . sure to please those who enjoy a bit of the macabre."--School Library Connection

"Tucholke's horror anthology is full of thrills and chills . . . Gross, creepy fun."--Kirkus Reviews

"This bone-chilling selection of 14 contributions by a host of popular young adult authors . . . adds up to one masterful anthology . . . While some of the stories are laced with dark humor, the anthology as a whole offers frightful reads . . . several stories also illuminate tales from other cultures, broadening the options for teens looking for new sources of scares. All of the stories will haunt readers long after the last page is turned."--School Library Journal
