If you loved Roth’s themes of survival and found family…
…try One Soft Infested Summer by Matthew Heiti (Latitude 46 Publishing)
Like Roth, One Soft Infested Summer immerses readers into a world of the uncanny and supernatural, where protagonists find themselves face-to-face with malevolent forces. Using powerful storytelling, both texts weave an epic narrative of found family, the horrors of loss, and survival through seemingly apocalyptic times.
If you were hooked by Roth’s pacing…
…try Nowhere by Jon Claytor (Goose Lane Editions)
If you found the fast-paced nature of reading a graphic novel like Roth too appealing to put down, you’ll find Nowehere to be an equally addictive read. Expertly combining hilarity with sinister reflection, Jon Claytor’s graphic novel explores what it looks like to grow up in a town where monsters are very much real.
