YA Horror
Can anyone recommend titles and/or authors in this genre. I've read some that were very disappointing. Liked 'Bones of Faerie'.

Re: YA Horror
I just finished BLEEDING VIOLET, which I thought had some horror elements, though it's not really classified as horror. I believe it's classified as paranormal, but there's certainly murder, gore, and mental twists.

I've rung my library and they're reserving it for me.
Re: YA Horror
Check out Pricker Boy by Scott Whinnem. It's more a ghost story, but perhaps it has some of the elements you're looking for. Christopher Pike used to write good horror novels when I was young. They were first more teen slasher type books but then he started to write some horror.

Re: YA Horror
I liked Lauren Myracle's BLISS, which came out last year. It takes place in a Southern boarding school in the 1960s. Very creepy and well-written. Myracle's more of a YA chick-lit author, but I wish she'd do more horror!
I haven't read this one yet, but I heard that Simon Holt's THE DEVOURING is very good, as well.

Re: YA Horror
I've started reading The Devouring and I think it is pretty excellent so far.
Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alender is, so far, my favorite YA ghost story. It creeped me out a whole bunch.
Project 17 by Laurie Faria Stolarz is definitely on my horror-to-read list. I can't tell you it is good though. It looks good. It looks great. I have it sitting next to me right this moment. But I have not read it myself yet. As I understand it, it is kind of like the movie Session 9 in YA book form

Re: YA Horror
Thank you. I've got quite a few to look at, but still, there don't seem to be lots around. I'll have to write one!!Sommer Leigh wrote:I've started reading The Devouring and I think it is pretty excellent so far.
