alissabar 's review for:
Scary Stories for Young Foxes
by Christian McKay Heidicker
Oh how I love this book! Heidicker is a genius. It was fun to reread this for a book club discussion and see other adults love this book and Heidicker's writing.
Original Review:
I don't think I've ever read a book like this before. I had the amazing opportunity to hear the author speak about it at a recent librarian conference I attended (for me the highlight of the whole day.) He categorized his book as "National Geographic horror," which I thought entirely appropriate seeing how everything these foxes go through could happen (and often does) in real life. It was also genius on Heidicker's part to have these experiences tie to our own monsters--vampires, zombies, witches, ghosts, etc. Creative, unique, engaging, intense, and a story that stays with you. I also will not be able to read The Tale of Peter Rabbit with innocence ever again. Just saying.
