The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell★★★★★
Mira Grant Seared into my memory. Cascading failures as zombies attack an elementary school. Well-written, but I never, ever want to read it again.
Down Among the Sticks and Bones★★★★★
Seanan McGuire Creepy tale of twins transported to a world out of 1930s monster movies. Hangs together better than the first book.
Every Heart a Doorway★★★★☆
Seanan McGuire A fast read with an intriguing concept that reverses multiple YA fantasy tropes.
In the Shadow of Spindrift House★★★★☆
Mira Grant Imagine the Scooby-Doo gang encountering a Lovecraftian horror in Hill House. They manage about as well as you might expect.
Overgrowth★★★☆☆
Mira Grant Invasion of the Body Snatchers from the POV of an alien plant person who grew up human. Now the invasion has started, and she’s sorting out friends, family, and who she can trust from either planet.
