To a Darker Shore

"""Inspired by Dante's Inferno, the story offers a fresh take on monster tales, neatly demonstrating the ways monstrousness and humanity are two sides of the same coin. [...] Rich worldbuilding and lovable characters make this trip to hell worthwhile."" --Kirkus Reviews ""A love letter to the autistic kids who see the world differently: punished for trusting that life could be made kinder and made into devils for wanting better. We will love each other until that world loves us back, and Schwartz captures that beautifully."" -Andrew Joseph White, New York Times bestselling author of Hell Followed With Us ""To A Darker Shore is an intricate, epic tale crackling with hellfire and imagination. Within its pages are terrifying creatures; thoughtful examinations of ableism, beauty, and monstrosity; and the kind of love that transcends eternity--even death."" --Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic ""To A Darker Shore is a magical tale about defying the odds, with a gloriously fierce protagonist you'll be cheering for!"" -Emily Thiede, author of This Vicious Grace and This Cursed Light ""This sublime, darkly romantic journey through the depths of hell completely swept me away. A must read."" -Alicia Jasinska, author of The Dark Tide and The Midnight Girls ""A nuanced reinterpretation of myth that also challenges current notions of beauty, classism, and faith. This is the kind of fantasy I yearned for in my teen years."" --Amparo Ortiz, author of Last Sunrise in Eterna ""Schwartz has done something miraculous. Her characters leap off the page, howling with righteous fury and grim determination. At turns gripping and profoundly tender-hearted, this is the rare book worth going to hell and back for."" --Christine Callela, author of The Final Curse of Ophelia Cray"
