Description: Praise for Dagger Hill : "A wild and satisfying romp through small town friendships, government conspiracies, bloody histories, long-kept secrets--and all of your deepest, darkest fears ." --Katrina Leno, author of Horrid "Taylor (the Soul Keepers series) layers horror styles--found footage, monster, paranormal, and psychological--while switching perspectives among the Almost Nobodies and townspeople. ... Visceral descriptions ("bullets shredded into meat") and the introduction of a shape-shifting figure lead to a jolting read in the style of Stephen King --one with plenty of 1980s nostalgia and a tender LGBTQ romance." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for The Soul Keepers : "A fantastic high-stakes adventure on a ghost ship sailing forever into eternity, where every soul is (literally) worth fighting for--what''s not to love? Devon Taylor weaves an endearing tale of friendship and loss with heart-stopping action and a whole lot of terrifying monsters. You''ll root for Rhett and his fellow reapers through every twist and turn!" --Rin Chupeco, author of The Bone Witch and The Girl from the Well "This pirate thriller starts off running and doesn''t stop , but the relationships between Rhett and his new companions--all young like himself--mirror the reality of the adolescent need for acceptance in a way that transcends entertainment. Rhett may be only 17, but he matures beyond his youth as he finds purpose in the meaningfulness of his work. ... This series starter will please teens who enjoy the ghostly tales and dark sarcasm of Neil Gaiman and Ransom Riggs ." -- School Library Journal "With thrilling action, lovable characters, and wildly original world-building, The Soul Keepers is an absolute delight !" --Andrew Shvarts, author of Royal Bastards " Debut novelist Taylor has a way with words ...
