10 YA Horror Novel Recommendations in Time for Halloween
Halloween 2019 is approaching. We are all excited. But more importantly, we are craving a good scare. Here are 10 YA horror novels that deserve your attention this Halloween.
1. Wilder Girls by Rory Power
It’s been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine. Since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty’s life out from under her. It started slow. First the teachers died…

TEETH IS A BUZZBOOK AND OTHER BOOKISH THINGS + GIVEAWAYS
Hello lovely readers!
The sun has been shining and I’m just feeling the Spring air. I can’t get enough. Loads of cool things have happened so I’m going to go through them all briefly.
Firstly, a reader got the cover of THE DEAD HOUSE tattooed on her body! I am in awe and utterly mesmerised. Doesn’t it look cool??! I never in my wildest dreams thought this would happen (except me doing it to…

TEETH is a Buzzbook and other bookish things + GIVEAWAYS
Hello lovely readers!
The sun has been shining and I’m just feeling the Spring air. I can’t get enough. Loads of cool things have happened so I’m going to go through them all briefly.
Firstly, a reader got the cover of THE DEAD HOUSE tattooed on her body! I am in awe and utterly mesmerised. Doesn’t it look cool??! I never in my wildest dreams thought this would happen (except me doing it to myself, maybe!) Shout out to Sammie Marie for being my first reader tattoo!
The next cool thing that happened is that TEETH IN THE MIST was named one of Publisher’s Marketplace’s Buzzbooks of Spring/Summer for 2019. I mean, WHAT??? That. Is. So. Cool. *falls over*
More news! TEETH is going to have DECKLED EDGES!!! Don’t know what deckled edges are? They are these pretty things:
So pretty! I think it will add to the spooky, Victorian vibe. One thing I realised recently was that Vic-Lit was a thing (Victorian Literature—books written in that period and style), and that large parts of TEETH fall into that category. Niiiice.
The audiobook recording of TEETH is going well. And this time it has been so much fun, because my audiobook producer has been keeping me in the loop and even sending me snippets of the actors reading the book! I swear, I have chills. Real, huge, CHILLS. I had a video chat with two of the utterly amazing women working on the audiobook, Elece and Michelle, and it was like talking to family.
I’ve been getting awesome blurbs for TEETH, but I can’t share them yet. Instead, I’m going to share the amazing Kirkus review that TEETH got recently, which was so, so lovely and welcome!
Other than that, I’ve been working on the pre-order gift I’m going to be giving you guys. There will be 20-30 boxes of amazing things for you guys to win, but there will also be items that every single person who pre-orders will receive. It’s the biggest and best I’ve yet done! I’ll be sharing more on my social media, so don’t forget to give me a follow there to stay in the loop.
Last but not least, there are two giveaways running until the 18th of April, so if you’d like to win a copy, go here:
That’s it from me!

The Beginning - a YA Horror story
There's something sinister in these mountainous hills...
That was my first thought when I looked into these slate mountains, and it was the first seedling of what was to become my third YA novel: TEETH IN THE MIST. The journey to "the end" was a tough one, and I'll be talking about that a little in the coming months. In the meantime, though, I just want to tell you that I did it. Despite incredible odds, I finished. It's easy to tie our self worth, as artists, to our art. It's easy to feel unworthy unless we are producing, creating, making at all times. It's a dangerous mentality, and completely and utterly untrue. We are all valuable human beings, whether we are creating art or not. I needed that reminder. Still... I FINISHED THE BOOK!!! It is something I can hold in my hands and cry over (trust me, there will be tears).
Much in the same way that writing THE DEAD HOUSE was a massive cathartic act, where I took this trauma I had experienced and put it into a story, something I could close the door on and hold in my hands; something outside of my own head, TEETH IN THE MIST has done the same thing. How amazing, to have experienced this twice! I am profoundly relieved to be on the other side. Whew. Now I can be proud. Now I can acknowledge the dark alleyways I had to navigate to get here. Now I can breathe.
My badass witch girls are coming to you guys in June 2019. But there is so much to look forward to until then. Be sure to subscribe to my newsletter for timely updates and exclusive giveaways and news, and check out my instagram too (I go live there most mornings to chat to you guys).
