Critics Review

“A small town legend, a missing redhead, a monster in the forest…Sirowy’sThe Creeping is a haunting, modern day folktale, in the darkest sense of the word. Fantastic.” – April Genevieve Tucholke, author of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea“Leave[s] chills long after the last page.” * Publishers Weekly *“Genuine and truly eerie. Readers will be up all night finishing Sirowy’s debut.” * Romantic Times *“Sirowy successfully weaves in an unnerving supernatural backstory, but the book’s very human conclusion is far more frightening than any of the town’s superstitions. A solid choice for horror fans, this novel will is a spook-tastic spine-tingler.” * School Library Journal *“Delivers with a nicely suspenseful plot that builds to a crisis point. Intriguing all the way through.” * Kirkus Reviews *”[For] horror fans looking for a creepy thrill.” * BCCB *
