About Strange Gods
Product Description A summer camp for wayward teens. A toad-god with a weakness for storytelling. A strange mission across stranger worlds. This fantasy debut is perfect for fans of Neverwhere, Coraline, and The Hazel Wood. Spooky arrives at a wilderness boot camp for troubled teens with two suitcases and an ultimatum: either she keeps her head down over the summer or she won't be allowed home at the end of it. All she wants to do is survive the pyros, bullies, and power-tripping counselors, get through senior year, and start her life somewhere new. But when an encounter with another camper goes awry and ends with Spooky hiding in the woods, something else finds her. Something ancient and powerful has sent out feelers, hoping to catch a human alone. For its purposes, even a delinquent teen will do. If Spooky wants to survive to see any kind of future, she will have to figure out how to gain leverage over a god. And as if the one wasn't bad enough, a pantheon of dark entities are lining up between her and the life she's always wanted... "If Neil Gaiman took a modern stab at Alice in Wonderland I'd like to think you'd get something like Strange Gods. Alison Kimble's debut novel feels and reads more like the work of a seasoned vet. She weaves together an imaginative tale with ease and style, creating a world that is both easy to get lost in and enjoy." - Wilbert Stanton, Author of The Artful "Alison Kimble has an effortlessly descriptive and humorous writing style. The plot of Strange Gods is delightfully peculiar. It's original, unpredictable, and engaging." - Helen Power, Author & Librarian "If you're looking for a truly unique and thought-provoking read, then pick up Strange Gods by Alison Kimble. Kimble paints an eerie, exciting, and sometimes terrifying world in which the gods of other universes interact, interfere, and scheme." - Erin Rose Archer, Author Review "It's dark, it's captivating, it is 'promise your first born to a witch just to have more of it' good. You do not want to miss this debut. Alison Kimble is an author to watch." - Sydney from @bookishly_sassy "Yet again, I become emotionally attached to characters that do not exist. In this case, it was a huge frog god." - Christina from @christinavrelli "If you're up for some magical and fast paced read, Trizia and I highly recommend this book. The protagonist, the setting, and the so-called gods will definitely get you hooked from start to finish." - Rafi from @pagesandbeyond "It was weird in the most delightful ways, it was funny, it was just a lil creepy, and had me thinking about it constantly." - Katie Bell of @booksinabathtub "I shrieked, I clapped, I gasped, I am desperately wishing for an online forum in which to have late night discussions with other SF/Fantasy lovers theorizing: What. Comes. Next." - Amrita on Goodreads "Reluctant heroes, multiverses, and weird, weird, WEIRD gods - yeah, this book delivers exactly what it says it will." - Heidi of @dreamsofstrangerworlds "An absolutely delightful coming-of-age YA fantasy, Kimble has created a unique one-of-a-kind story filled with strange Gods, indeed." - Shelbie Rene of @renereads "Kimble's easy writing style transports readers back to the transformative and awkward moments we all had growing up, but with the added twist of destructive bickering gods converging on our planet. The narrative is equal parts eclectic plot and dynamic character growth. If you enjoy a first-rate teen fantasy with a truly unique cast, you'll find that Strange Gods is a sweet indulgence infused with humor and heart." - 5 star review from Indies Today "This is a debut author, but you can tell Alison is a sci-fi/fantasy writer of the highest order." - Lenore Stutznegger, author of Blue Shadows Fall "I recommend this book to anyone bored of reading similar books over and over. This absolutely unique novel will blow you away." - Emily Marie of @flybybooks "Like a dark supernatural ve
