What They're Saying
Critics Review
An Indiana Young Hoosier Book Award Selection
“Suspenseful and engaging, with a truly terrifying monster–but also full of funny, exaggerated characters and descriptions that keep the tone light…. This funny, fast-paced celebration of horror movies will appeal to fans of Goosebumps and similar series.”–School Library Journal
“While this horror novel glows with enough gruesome detail to rival the best B-rated monster flicks, it’s the sci-fi twist at the end that will keep readers up at night. Recommended for the Goosebumps crowd and fans of classic horror.”–Booklist
“Wendig expertly ratchets up the terror and suspense to a feverish pitch…. Top of the class when it comes to frights.”–Kirkus Reviews
“In this gleefully off-kilter ode to late-night B movies and classic kids’ horror tales like Goosebumps, Wendig (Dust & Grim) skillfully tempers terrifying events with a tint of absurdity, playing them against Ethan’s all-too-relatable worries. It’s a fast-paced and intense adventure that never loses sight of its human elements.”–Publishers Weekly
Praise for Dust & Grim:
A New York Times Bestseller
An Amazon Best Children’s Book
A TXLA 2023 Lone Star Reading List Selection
* “A spooky, heartfelt, darkly funny adventure…. The importance of relationships, regardless of blood relation, runs deep and gives an endearing core to this perfect Halloween read.”–Shelf Awareness, starred review
* “Playing to strengths demonstrated in his many comics and tales for older audiences, not only is Wendig a dab hand at concocting extremely creepy critters, but here he also pulls together a secondary cast of quarrelsome but supportive allies for the beleaguered teens.”–Kirkus, starred review
* “Wendig charges onto the middle-grade scene with a monstrously fun tale of family and funerary arts…. [The] easy writing style is a perfect vehicle for the humor and rapidly paced shenanigans that propel the narrative…. Monstrously fun…. A sure pick for those enamored by Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book and Tahereh Mafi’s Whichwood.”–Booklist, starred review
* “Wendig thrills, enchants, and amuses in equal measure…. Peppered with nail-biting action scenes, the well-paced storytelling is as heart-felt as it is heart-racing, and readers who appreciate word play will love the snark-filled banter and witty narrative voice…. The ideal read-next for fans of Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book, this is also perfect for readers who embrace the weirdness of family.”–BCCB, starred review
