About the Book
The seventeen original stories in Defy the Dark, an eerie, mind-bending YA anthology, could only take place in darkness.
Open the pages and discover: A creepy guy who stares too long. The secrets of the core of the earth. Dreams of other people’s lives. A girl who goes mad in the darkness. Monsters in Bavaria. A generational spaceship where night doesn’t exist. And other mysteries and oddities.
The contributors to the enthralling collection are: Sarah Rees Brennan, Tessa Gratton, Rachel Hawkins, Christine Johnson, Valerie Kemp, Malinda Lo, Myra McEntire, Saundra Mitchell, Sarah Ockler, Jackson Pearce, Aprilynne Pike, Dia Reeves, Beth Revis, Carrie Ryan, Jon Skovron, Courtney Summers, and Kate Espy, winner of the Defy the Dark new author contest.
Critical Praise
With contributions that range from frightening to romantic, action-driven to lyrical, there should be something here for everyone. — School Library Journal
The menace of darkness in these stories is...more campfire shivers than real danger, but that’s precisely the appeal. — ALA Booklist
The collection’s range of genres, from science fiction to vampire stories to realism, gives it broad appeal. — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
