Once again, as with An Na, I am discovering an acclaimed YA author for the first time. This time around it's Neal Shusterman. I'd heard of him, sure, but it wasn't until I picked up Darkness Creeping, that I actually READ him. Now I have to go back and see what else he's got. This, like All Hallow's Eve, would have been great to find at Halloween, but I'm just thankful I found it. This guy is creepy! I so envy his imagination. Strike that. With an imagination like that, I'd be terrified all of the time! How does this guy sleep! Jeffery Deaver's Twisted is like this book. By the end of nearly every story, I was feeling the goosebumps break out on my skin. After nearly all of these twenty tales I found myself saying, "Man! That was so cool!" And by that sometimes I meant creepy, sick or twisted. Oh oh oh and word to the wise...if you have to go to the dentist any time soon, don't read the one about the root canal!
