Monsters of Ohio Starred Review in Library Journal

This actually happened, like, a week ago, but I’ve been busy traveling all over the place, so I’m noting it here now: Hey! Monsters of Ohio got an other starred review in the trades! This one is courtesy of Library Journal. The review is behind a paywall, but here’s the “verdict” portion of the review: Scalzi’s delightfully quirky, cozy sci-fi horror serves up a heaping helping of small-town charm, offers a love letter to the author’s own rural Ohio small town, and pays homage to the pulp horror of classic scary movies while snarkily commenting that humans are the scariest monsters of all. Sweet! For those keeping track, that’s two starred reviews, one in Kirkus and one in Library Journal, as well as a very positive review in Publishers Weekly. I’m pleased for my little book. Which, remember, comes out in November and which you can pre-order at your favorite bookstore (plus it’s not too late to get signed, personalized editions through Subterranean Press). — JS
