Critics Review
Praise for the author:
“Gloriously dark and immersive, Hell Followed with Us cuts straight to the core. With its endearing cast, detailed worldbuilding, and breathtaking horror, this novel kept me at the edge of my seat. Hands down the best YA horror book I’ve read.” - Aden Polydoros, author of The City Beautiful
“A chimera of horror, romance, and something stranger.” - Rose Szabo, author of What Big Teeth
“Unputdownable, unbelievably powerful, deranged, and magnificently defiant. Hold on to your humanity for dear life, readers.” - School Library Journal, on Compound Fracture
Reviews for You Weren’t Meant to be Human:
“White’s adult debut encapsulates the best of the modern horror genre.” Booklist, starred review
”[A] brilliant, page-turning piece of trans splatterpunk body horror and an earnest, heart-rending tragedy. White should win a whole new set of fans with this.” Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A tenderly beating, bloody heart of a novel. Relentlessly bleak and harrowing, White’s brutal adult debut also somehow manages to be deeply, devastatingly empathetic.” - Kiersten White, author of Lucy, Undying
“You Weren’t Meant to be Human is dysphoria bound into words. Andrew Joseph White captures a beautifully disgusting world that’s all too familiar to neurodivergent and trans individuals, with a plot that offers nothing but shocking pleasure with each page turn.” - Linden Lewis, author of The First Sister
“This is one of those deeply disturbing books that I adore and abhor in equal measure, and I think that is exactly what makes it such a masterpiece.” Grimdark Magazine
“Gruesome and unrelenting, Andrew Joseph White’s adult debut is a masterpiece of horror. White dares you to accept Crane’s humanity when all the veneers of politeness are stripped away, capturing the intersection of the alienation of neurodivergence and the pain of dysphoria with unflinching honesty.” - K. M. Enright, Sunday Times bestselling author of Mistress of Lies
