We Are the Beasts

Praise

Prasie for We Are the Beasts:

“Like sharp teeth in the dark, We Are the Beasts takes hold of you and never lets go. A compelling, tense, and thoughtful exploration of what it means to be girls in a world of monsters.”—Kiersten White, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein

“We Are the Beasts is a love letter to girlhood and a vicious anthem of survival turned up loud. Griffis has deftly woven rage and resistance into the historical French countryside while gifting us bold and tender sapphic heroines who slay the most terrifying of monsters. It’s everything YA needs.”—Jamison Shea, author of I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast is Me

“With a raw and riveting main character to match the setting, this historical YA horror dives into threats that face young women in 18th century rural France. What is scarier, the beasts among us or the beasts outside us? I flew through the last half of this rollercoaster of a book, and the last act twist does not disappoint.”—Wendy Heard, author of She’s Too Pretty To Burn

“A haunting, beautifully written tale, infused with fears and truths that transcend time.”—Eva V. Gibson, Edgar-nominated author of Frightmares

“With lush prose and a vivid historical setting, Griffis weaves a compulsive tale of monsters and men, and the blurry line between the two. Lovers of feminist horror will devour this one whole.”—MK Pagano, author of Girls Who Burn

“A loveably brutal historical horror novel about a monster in the woods that’s actually an earnest ode to the inherent claustrophobia of being a teenaged girl in a trenchcoat.”—Sami Ellis, author of Dead Girls Walking

“Breathes new life and intrigue into the historical tale of the Beast of Gévaudan. Griffis has an eye for historical detail and a deft hand when it comes to plotting.”—CrimeReads
