Review Quotes:
"A supremely satisfying supernatural mystery packed with ghost-hunting, ectoplasm-conjuring, secret societies, and likeable teens (who are also supernatural). Enjoyable not just for its heart and thrills, but the amount of authentic spiritualist lore it pulls into its twisty narrative." --Adam Cesare, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD and BLOODSICK
"Deliciously creepy in the very best way, Tell the Ghosts I'm Gone is everything my weird younger self would love. This complex story of a supernatural found family, powers that leap off the page, ghosts with real bite, eerie disappearances, and ancestral secrets from beyond are woven together masterfully. It left my heart racing, haunting me long after I turned the last page." --Jamison Shea, author of I FEED HER TO THE BEAST AND THE BEAST IS ME "The jaw-clenching supernatural horror I've been hungry for. To any kid who has felt too strange, too monstrous, or too much to handle: this book is for you." --Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Compound Fracture and Hell Followed with Us "Fast-paced, twisty, creepy, and full of heart, this haunting mystery further proves that Bayron knows exactly how to write horror that lingers, making this a must-have for fans of her captivating stories, as well as fans of the horror and mystery genres." --Booklist starred review "A heartfelt supernatural mystery that delivers equal parts suspense and atmospheric chills." --Kirkus Reviews "This riveting and delightfully sinister tale pairs monster-hunting excitement with astute explorations of power and control." --Publishers Weekly "Explores grief, family ties, and rebirth in this tenderhearted riff on Frankenstein. . . . Bayron presents at once grotesque and breezily matter-of-fact horror elements via luminous prose. The characters' intensely layered relationships, as well as the tragic romance at the heart of the novel, will stick with readers long after the final page." --Publishers Weekly, starred review for MAKE ME A MONSTER "Bayron crafts a page-turning, atmospheric homage to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, balancing unnerving horror with tender romance. . . . Chilling yet romantic: explores the complexities of death, love, and grief." --Kirkus Reviews, on MAKE ME A MONSTER "This novel revives Frankenstein with a fresh modernity." --BCCB, on MAKE ME A MONSTER "A creative spin on Frankenstein. . . . Fans of reanimated-dead stories will enjoy this one." --Booklist, on MAKE ME A MONSTER "A spine-tingling camp slasher with a cast of characters you can't help but root for." --Ryan Douglass, New York Times bestselling author of THE TAKING OF JAKE LIVINGSTON, on YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE TONIGHT "Delightfully creepy. . . . Plan to read You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight under a blanket with a flashlight, but only if you're willing to stay up late. As horror fans know, there's always one last twist at the end." --BookPage, on YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE TONIGHT "Bayron's abundant use of familiar twists and turns draw on the genre's classic predecessors to craft a gory and darkly funny read that is sure to satisfy slasher fans." --Publishers Weekly, on YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE TONIGHT "An intoxicating tale about the power of about Black motherhood and daughterhood, and family bonds that can't be broken. Like the poisonous plants Briseis tends to, This Poison Heart is mesmerizing and beautiful." --Tracy Deonn, New York Times bestselling author of LEGENDBORN, on THIS POISON HEART "Bayron takes an old story, turns it on its head, and makes it her own with a stunning display of pacing, character, and legacy." --#1 New York Times bestselling author E.K. Johnston, on THIS POISON HEART "A wholly original and captivating story where girls finally decide for themselves who lives happily ever after." --Brigid Kemmerer, New York Times bestselling author of A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY, on CINDERELLA IS DEAD
