The Suburban Strange series by Nathan Kotecki (Books 1&2)
Requirements: EPUB/MOBI Reader, 1.6 MB
Overview: Based in Durham, North Carolina, Nathan Kotecki is an accidental young adult novelist. A regular scribbler, he began telling himself a story about an unsuspecting girl who finds herself drawn into the darkly stylish world of an alternative/goth clique at her new high school - and kept on writing to find out what would happen next. The result was the first draft of THE SUBURBAN STRANGE.
As a reader, Nathan has an enduring love for the classics, which is why casual references to authors like Henry James, Virginia Woolf, Kate Chopin, and Albert Camus tend to pop up in his writing. Another major influence is his own love of alternative music from the eighties to today, which made writing the scenes at Diaboliques, where bands like Siouxsie & the Banshees and the Sisters of Mercy are played, a real treat.
One of the unexpected joys of being a young adult author has been the opportunity to go into schools and try to reinforce the literacy and humanities messages of teachers and librarians. Talking to students about the new literacy - both reading and writing - and the doors they open for virtually everyone, is both a pleasure and a responsibility.
Genre: Fantasy, Young Adult
1. The Suburban Strange
Shy Celia Balaustine is new to Suburban High, but a mysterious group of sophomores called the Rosary has befriended her. Friends aside, Celia soon discovers something is not quite right at Suburban. Girls at the school begin having near-fatal accidents on the eve of their sixteenth birthdays. Who is causing the accidents, and why? As Celia’s own birthday approaches, she is inexorably drawn into an underground conflict between good and evil—the Kind and the Unkind—that bubbles beneath Suburban High. Plentiful references to music and art—along with the intriguing underworld mythology—make this supernatural series debut a page-turner.
2. Pull Down the Night
This year at Suburban High School is just as troubling as the last. A curly-haired girl ghost is disrupting lives with dreaded “kiss notes,” and students are inexplicably sinking into depression. Bruno—the new kid on the block—finds himself at the center of the mystery when he discovers his natural map-reading abilities are actually supernatural. When the reluctant hero isn’t engaged in cosmic battles against evil, Bruno is swooning over the mesmerizing Celia (from The Suburban Strange) and navigating the goth sensibilities and musical obsessions of the Rosary, her über-chic clique. A hypnotic coming-of-age novel that chills and thrills.
