The YA Horror 400
05 June 2024Coming soon, on June 25th... The YA Horror 400, by Tony Jones. It's a book collecting 400 reviews of YA and Middle Grade horror, compiled by a librarian who has been reviewing them online for more than a decade and a half. As well as the reviews, it also features loads of contributions by authors whose books are included in the reviews, and one of those authors is... ME!!!
I wrote an article, more than 600 words long, about the book of mine which was reviewed, talking about how and why I chose my narrative style for it. But if you want to find out what that book was, and what I had to say about it, you'll need to buy a copy of The YA Horror 400!!! :-)
