Slasher Girls & Monster Boys

A host of the smartest young adult authors come together in this collection of scary stories and psychological thrillers curated by *Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea*'s April Genevieve Tucholke. Each story draws from a classic tale or two—sometimes of the horror genre, sometimes not—to inspire something new and fresh and terrifying. There are no superficial scares here; these are stories that will make you think even as they keep you on the edge of your seat. From bloody horror to supernatural creatures to unsettling, all-too-possible realism, this collection has something for any reader looking for a thrill.
