Moldavia is resplendent with wonderfully wacky details, characters and settings...plenty of gory details to delight creature-feature and horror movie buffs."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"Debut author Milman loads his coming-of-age comedy with classic horror references in a way that will delight genre fans without alienating outsiders. Clever writing is anchored by a sensitive emotional core, giving Dario's personal journey a relatable quality, despite its delectably bizarre setting."--<em>Booklist</em><br><br>"[A] dark and occasionally wacky tale of a young man coming to terms with his troubled past."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)<br><br>"At once hilarious, wrenching, and marinated in inspired details....<em>Scream All Night</em> slashes through the expected, trouncing the predictable with eerie power."--Center for Fiction<br><br>"[A] darkly funny, brilliantly written, heart-wrenching debut."--Buffalo News<br><br>"Milman graces readers with a distinctive and immersive setting and an authentically hilarious voice. It's the summer read you never knew you needed."--Buzzfeed<br><br>"Milman has a field day with horror movie tropes, walking a nerve-wrackingly fine line between gothic horror and send-up, challenging readers to discern just where the laughs and shivers are leading...And the award for genre-bending serio-comic tender horror debut goes to...Derek Milman."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, <strong>Recommended title</strong><br><br>"<em>Scream All Night</em> is a hilarious, heart-wrenching, psychedelic ride. Derek Milman has written a searingly original debut. I couldn't stop reading."--Jeff Garvin, author of <em>Symptoms of Being Human</em><br><br>"Derek Milman bursts onto the YA scene with a completely unique concept and a delightfully quirky setting. It has all of my favorite things: plenty of absurdity wrapped in undeniable heart. <em>Scream All Night</em> is not to be missed."--Goldy Moldavsky, New York Times bestselling author of <em>Kill the Boy Band </em>and <em>No Good Deed</em><br>
