Last summer, Eva V. Gibson made waves (and nightmares) when her YA horror novel FRIGHTMARES published with Random House/Underlined. Now we’re elated to share the news that the MWA has nominated it for their prestigious Edgar Allen Poe Award!

ABOUT FRIGHTMARES:
PRAISE FOR FRIGHTMARES:
“Frightmares is YA horror at its best—voicy, thrilling, and wholly unique. Gibson’s quirky characters and whip-smart humor shine against the non-Disney-fied backdrop of Florida’s seedy underbelly. A spine-chilling book you won’t forget.” —Jennifer Moffett, author Those Who Prey
“[A] propulsive thriller.” —Kirkus
“Witty and fast-moving…will appeal to the Fear Street crowd.” —Booklist
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Eva V. Gibson is the author of Together We Caught Fire and Where Secrets Lie. A bookworm since early childhood, she has routinely gravitated to the dark and gritty, reading, then writing, stories with grim themes and flawed, complicated characters. She lives in Northern Virginia with her family, and spends most of her time brooding, baking, creating, and parenting, awaiting the day her kids read her books with equal parts excitement and trepidation.
We’re so proud of you, Eva! Get this spine-tingling book from your local indie or these retailers: Penguin Random House, Bookshop.org, IndieBound, Barnes & Noble, Target.
