Waiting on Wednesday #189

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

SLASHER GIRLS & MONSTER BOYS

Goodreads Description:

For fans of Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Lois Duncan, and Daphne Du Maurier comes a powerhouse anthology featuring some of the best writers of YA thrillers and horror

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.

Fans of TV’s The Walking Dead, True Blood, and American Horror Story will tear through tales by these talented authors:

Stefan Bachmann - Leigh Bardugo - Kendare Blake - A. G. Howard - Jay Kristoff 

Marie Lu - Jonathan Maberry - Danielle Paige - Carrie Ryan - Megan Shepherd 
Nova Ren Suma - McCormick Templeman - April Genevieve Tucholke - Cat Winters

Hardcover, 400 pages
Expected publication: August 18th 2015 by Dial Books
Pre-Order here and here.

  1. Okay, I added this to my TBR. It's an anthology! I love anthologies. Great pick!
    I'm waiting for Library of Souls (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #3) which is in theme with your pick, I guess.
