1. I would say middle-grade horror? Is that a common genre, not sure, but that’s what I got. Also, maybe, middle-grade dark comedy. It’s more coming-of-age than teen angst, so that’s why I don’t feel it’s YA.
2. Yes, I would like to see more of these characters, which is why I pre-ordered the next book. I didn’t really dislike any of the characters. I even thought the bully was a great bully.
3. I think this story could have been adapted to fit any time period, but the chosen time was perfect for this scenario. It’s that time- that slow emersion of geek culture becoming mainstream when only the kids really got it. I thoroughly enjoyed all the 90s references, from clothing, to TV shows, video games, to song lyrics. Can’t wait to see what pops into the next book.
