Vampire Girl Conquers the Night

"This surreal story will resonate with mature kids and adults. Strangely beautiful fare for precocious nyctophobes and -philes." — Kirkus
"Johnson's illustrations of violet darkness and the sharp-eyed creatures who live in it have a strong folkloric influence, filled with details that ask readers to slow down and look closely. González balances a realistic childhood fear with a wild and wonderful magical world as she stealthily gives young readers a practical strategy for soothing their fears... should beguile budding young horror fans during spooky season or all year round." –– Shelf-Awareness
“If this sounds like a typical 'afraid of the dark' story, think again: it’s weird and wonderful and a little macabre. The striking artwork has a flattened, folk-art feel, utilizing dark purples, oranges, and browns to create a stylized palette full of creeping creatures and shadows, while the transporting text, translated from Spanish, has an uncommon gravity and grandness to it. A bold, beautiful new way of seeing our deepest fears and darkest nights.” –– Booklist
