Description: "I could vividly feel the heat, desperation, heartache and hope. Devils Unto Dust is truly a zombie western with heart!" - Kristin Trevino, Irving Public Library "A tale of survival as gritty as its desert setting. Stubbornness, strength and survival come head to head with blowing sands and creeping sickness in this feminist tale." - Mindy McGinnis, author of the award-winning The Female of the Species "Die-hard fans of the zombie genre will find a new, carefully hewn setting to sink their teeth into and a gritty protagonist to root for. ...an audacious climax and Willie's nerves of steel elevate this suspense adventure. A refreshing genre-bender." - Kirkus Reviews "Much like the undead Willie fights, once this story grabs you, it won't let go. Prepare to be consumed." - Ryan Graudin, award-winning author of Wolf by Wolf "All the hallmarks of a classic Western are here, from the greasy bad guys to the stoic gunslinger on a quest to a dusty Texas setting...A girl with a gun and a slew of shambling zombies make for quick entertainment, and Willie's desert trek will have readers riveted." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Dark and gritty, this ...novel doesn't shy away from death or danger. Berquist wonderfully balances the pace of the plot. ...Full of surprising twists and turns, this is a story of determination and perseverance as well as survival in hard times." - School Library Journal "Berquist strikes an appealing balance between the Western and "infected" genres. ...all sorts of readers should be drawn in to this absorbing hybrid tale in which the people are far more monstrous than the monsters." - The Horn Book "Berquist cleverly riffs on the work of Cormac McCarthy, blending the excitement and harsh beauty of the frontier with a straight shot of zombie terror. This wild western will delight horror and adventure fans alike." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "With a setting unlike any other in young adult fiction--where horror meets western--and a fast-paced narrative with strong characters, Berquist's debut, genre-bending novel is sure to entice the zombie-loving crowd as well as adventure seekers." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
