Critics Review
“Dos Santos delves into more chilling themes in this YA horror […] Readers will enjoy the Dominican folkloric themes of Malicia (Los Biembiens, el bacá, and more). A thrilling read for those who aren’t afraid of a terrifying adventure.”–Booklist“If you are in the mood for a deeply dark YA fantasy, with plenty of terror, gore, and moments of blood splattered dismemberment, then Steven Dos Santos has you covered […] Malicia promises a trip into madness and it delivers on every shivery count.” –Locus Magazine
“A blood-spattered adrenaline rush of a novel. Buckle up for a wild, propulsive ride, and don’t expect your pulse to return to normal any time soon.”–David Ferraro, author of The Alchemy of Moonlight
“A love letter to all the best parts of horror: the monsters, the terrifying settings, the secrets and darkness inside each of us. Malicia navigates love and friendship, guilt and obligation, drawing universal feelings into a thread that winds through the dark, twisting narrative to a surprising, moving conclusion.”–Alison Ames, author of It Looks Like Us and To Break a Covenant
“Horror lovers, if you’ve ever longed for a theme park destination dedicated to the spooky characters you love–be careful what you wish for. Malicia brings your nightmares to life!” –Diana Rodriguez Wallach, author of Small Town Monsters
