Trade Review
“Evil Children is an encyclopedic survey of the supernatural and ‘supernormal’ young that haunt our popular culture. … her book is a terrific resource for childhood scholars who may want to research and teach representations of the bad and the ugly alongside the good.” (Adam Golub, The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth, Vol. 11 (2), 2018)
