10 Best Teenage-Centric Horror Books Depicting the Dark Side of Adolescenceの表紙

Discovering the gnarled nooks and crannies of adolescence can be a tumultuous ride at best. But when the usual trials and tribulations of teenage life start getting a tinge too tame, why not press the pedal and take a detour through the doorways of dread? We are talking hair-raising, spine-tingling, heart-stopping horror - mind you, quite a far cry from chemistry homework. If you're a young adult with a penchant for the macabre, you're in for a glorious ghoul-filled treat. Today, we're shining a spectral light on the best teenage-centric horror books. These chilling narratives don’t just cloak our favourite monster-in-the-closet tales in adolescent angst; they rip open the belly of teenage existence to reveal the dark, disturbing underbelly. Whether it's the eerie mysteries lurking in the lockers of high schools, haunted hallways of dormitories, or the sinister secrets of popular kids - Inside these pages, horror isn’t always supernatural; it's often right next door. They delve into the terror of transitioning from childhood to adulthood and record the uncanny echoes of your worst nightmares and deepest fears. So, brace yourself as we dive headfirst into the eerie abyss. You have been warned...

Carrie (Spanish Movie Tie-In Edition)の表紙

Sus compañeros se burlan de ella, pero Carrie tiene un don. Puede mover cosas con su mente. Este es su poder y su gran problema. Pero aunque un acto de bondad, tan espontáneo como las burlas crueles de sus compañeros, le ofrece a Carrie la oportunidad de ser normal, una inesperada crueldad transforma su don en un arma de horror y destrucción. Con un pulso mágico que mantiene la tensión a lo largo de todo el libro, Stephen King narra la atormentada adolescencia de Carrie, y nos envuelve en una atmósfera sobrecogedora hasta llegar a un terrible momento de venganza que nadie olvidará.

The photographs and text work together brilliantly to create an unforgettable story.”—John Green, New York Times best-selling author of The Fault in Our Stars “With its X-Men: First Class-meets-time-travel story line, David Lynchian imagery, and rich, eerie detail, it’s no wonder Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children has been snapped up by Twentieth Century Fox.

The Coldest Girl in Coldtownの表紙

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a wholly original story of rage and revenge, of guilt and horror, and of love and loathing from bestselling and acclaimed author Holly Black. Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey.

The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a wholly original story of rage and revenge, of guilt and horror, and of love and loathing from bestselling and acclaimed author Holly Black.

And, when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness.
