I think I mentioned Troy earlier this year on Childlit (Wasn't the title was recently long-listed for one of the UK literary awards?). There's no way I compete and add to Jonathan's words, but at a time of chaos, I'd too like to thank the author for writing this masterpiece. This title certainly captures the horror that is terror + is a magnificent read for older YAs, especially now.

By the road, Jonathan, did you read the American or British version? Does anyone know if there was any significance in the text? I read the British imprint + can only say it was just mesmerizing.

Karen Sue...now about to undertake the impossible...my laundry!?!
