Critics Review
“This fantastical, stunning tale shines in both story and artwork; a must for libraries serving teens.”
“This fantastical, stunning tale shines in both story and artwork; a must for libraries serving teens.” * School Library Journal [Starred Review] *
“A noir fantasy—part adventure, part love story, all the way spectacularly creepy.” * Kirkus Reviews [Starred Review] *
“This rich, fantastical story is brought to life with Stanley’s vibrant colors and wonderfully bold lines in artwork that is a joy to look at. The cruelty of Bright World will keep readers fully invested in Fawn’s struggle to survive and retain their identity, and the specifics of their nonbinary gender identity, a topic of conversation among several characters, are handled with respect and fidelity.” * Booklist [Starred Review] *
Stan Stanley
Stan Stanley makes comics that are sometimes creepy, sometimes funny, but always queer. She’s been making comics since she was in high school and has continued doing so throughout various science-related careers when she was supposed to be doing science. Instead, she created Friendly Hostility, The Hazards of Love, and her online journal comic, Stananigans. The Hazards of Love is heavily influenced by the ephemera of the Mexico in which Stan grew up, though she now finds herself in NYC among a lovely crew of weirdos. She lives with her spouse, a large cat, and a larger collection of bones.
