My supervisor at work runs an entertaining and informative book review blog called Snark Notes. Today the blog featured an excerpt from a conversation we had about the state of YA literature:

THE PEOPLE HE THOUGHT HE KNEW

Horror Stories from the Suburbs

78 pages, 2009, $10

In this collection of short stories, you'll meet, among others: a twenty-something office assistant who finds herself drained by her job during the day and by a vampire at night; a man whose neighbors run away from him when all he wants to do is organize the annual block party and barbecue; and a father whose Christmas gift to his daughter may come at too great a price, even if it is the biggest toy of the season.

These stories were written during a year spent living in the suburbs of Chicago. The book is a perfect-bound paperback, hand-made by me, with interior pages printed on 100% recycled paper and stellar cover art by Christopher Mitten. Shipping to any U.S. address is included in the price! (For shipping outside the U.S., please contact me before ordering.)
