Reviews

“Cara Martin has created a beautifully haunting rendition of the classic haunted house tale that feels true to the genre but offers a new twist.”
– Deanna Feuer

With its sparing prose, inclusive cast and difficult themes, Cara Martin’s Shantallow is crackling YA. It addresses themes of revenge porn, abuse, drugs and sex, but at its heart is a message all young people should hear: there’s life after transgression, and while it may not include forgiveness, personal amends can be made, behaviour changed and community rediscovered.


“A good pick for thoughtful horror readers.”
“Gut-wrenching on various levels.”
