A review by mmorton
Scowler by Daniel Kraus

4.0

In the land of young adult books, true horror stories can be hard to find (Yancey's Monstrumologist comes to mind). If you are a fan of the genre, Daniel Kraus is a must read and is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Fresh off of reading Rotters I quickly added Scowler to my "to read" list and was not disappointed. Scowler is suspenseful, disturbing, and guaranteed to stick with you. Kraus make does a great job of depicting horrible things with beautiful language. I must warn you that this book pulls no punches. Do not read this book unless you are prepared for an honest to goodness horror story in the hybrid form of Stephen King meets Rob Zombie. 4.5 stars.
