In Darren Charlton's Wranglestone...a community survives in a US
national park, surrounded by water to keep the dead at bay. Zombie
thrills combine with an achingly tender gay love story in this
unusual debut, shortlisted for the Costa book award.
*The Best Children's Books of 2020*
This is part zombie epic, part political allegory, part gay love
story. Charlton is a sophisticated new voice on the British YA
scene.
*William Hussey, author of HIDEOUS BEAUTY*
'Thrilling zombie epic meets gorgeous gay love story. The
world-building is deft, the writing poetic . this is very special!
Properly scary and properly heart-warming.'
*Lisa Heathfield, author of I AM NOT A NUMBER*
'A complete treasure of a book - page-turning, stunning writing, an
extraordinary setting and with a gorgeous love story at its heart.
I loved it.'
*Sunday Irish Independent*
Fresh and chilling and totally immersive.
*David Owen, author of GRIEF ANGELS*
