OVERVIEW
Seventeen-year-old Sylvie Stroud can see the past of any building just by touching it. Her powers have always been reliable, until one day she sees the memory of a teenage girl’s murder without touching anything at all. There's a lot of violence in New York City, especially in 1977, but this is different. When the vision keeps repeating, Sylvie begins to investigate. But doing so accidentally awakens an old, parasitic magic lurking just beneath the surface of her beleaguered city. Now all it wants is Sylvie, and it will go through everyone Sylvie loves to have her.
This page-turning horror novel, complete with 22 black and white graphic novel pages throughout, is perfect for fans of Stephanie Perkins and Kendare Blake.
PRAISE
“Welcome to Fear City has every flavor of horror I love: supernatural mystery, violent histories, and creepy spectral dog-things. But it’s also a story about friendship and growing up, enhanced by its period setting, late-70s New York brought to vivid, tactile life. You can almost smell the garbage and hear the echo of CBGB. Dvojack brings the goods. Something to chill your bones on sweltering city nights.”
—Adam Cesare, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Influencer and Clown in a Cornfield
"YA horror readers will delight in a supernatural mystery so full of twists, turns, and all kinds of tension."
—Booklist
