This spectacular story straddles a surreal, almost mystical, line before dropping readers into the terrifying challenges of facing the ghost-eaters that can rip people’s souls from their bodies. The throughline anchoring this highly original narrative is the fierce power of love. A gorgeously creative debut, weaving life, grief, and the spirit of friendship into a tour-de-force.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Hot Dog is an unlikely and sympathetic protagonist in this quirky paranormal story that deals with friendship, trauma, and finding your own voice. The voice of Hot Dog is haunting and longing, and readers will enjoy the structure of the book, as well as how the author plays with language and genre.
—School Library Journal

Sensory and strange, Young’s surreal debut wafts through planes of existence and consciousness, following Hot Dog’s evolving understanding of herself and her relationship to the living world. . . . Hot Dog is serving love and weirdness in a way that will have A. S. King fans lining up.
—Booklist

Clever humor . . . makes for an engaging read, and the protagonist . . . with her palpable yearning for all aspects of being alive is easy to root for. Creatively devised supernatural elements go from creepy . . . to catastrophic . . . as readers learn how it’s all connected. . . . this weird, inventive entry offers plenty to relish.
—The Horn Book

Creative and unique. . . .

E.G. Young is a speculative fiction author living on the Gulf Coast of Florida. In her books, you’ll find weird-but-tender vibes, strange girls, dark humor, spookiness, and animals who all live at the end (promise!). She writes 90 percent of her drafts using voice-to-text dictation (shoutout to fellow hypermobile humans). When she's not writing, you’ll find her enjoying nature, binging Netflix, or playing with her tabby cat and barkless basenji dog. Emily holds an MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults from The Vermont College of Fine Arts. Check out her website at egyoungbooks.com.
