A 2024 Sydney Taylor Honor Book!

Two vampire brothers must set aside their differences to solve a series of murders in this humorous and delightfully spooky novel for young readers. For fans of Too Bright to See.

Adam and Victor are brothers who have the usual fights over the remote, which movie to watch and whether or not it's morally acceptable to eat people. Well, not so much eat . . . just drink a little blood. They're vampires, hiding in plain sight with their eclectic yet loving family.

Ten-year-old Adam knows he has a better purpose in his life (well, immortal life) than just drinking blood, but fourteen-year-old Victor wants to accept his own self-image of vampirism. Everything changes when bodies start to appear all over town, and it becomes clear that a vampire hunter may be on the lookout for the family. Can Adam and Victor reconcile their differences and work together to stop the killer before it’s too late?

Recensione

A Kirkus Reviews’ Best Middle Grade Book of 2023
An Evanston Public Library’s 101 Great Books for Kids, 2023

PRAISE FOR Don't Want to Be Your Monster:

"Members of persecuted minorities unite to fight crime: icky, impish, and thematically rich. Readers fond of nocturnal whodunits festooned with sly twists and tweaks from opening page to terrifying climax are in for a treat — but Moulton has much to offer here besides gore and glory. . . . [T]his story . . . thoughtfully pushes back against significant antisemitic elements in Bram Stoker’s Dracula and vampire lore in general." —STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews

"Readers will root for these two bantering brothers as they fight to defeat the evil lurking in their town and, after the last page is turned, will long to spend more time in their world." —STARRED REVIEW, Booklist

“A book about vampire siblings should not actually be this good. This, folks, is why one has to look past genre from time to time, because a great writer can take any topic and make it absolutely jaw-droppingly good.”  —School Library Journal

"Fans, young and old, of classic vampire stories should sink their teeth into this fresh take." —School Library Journal

"Fans of the supernatural intersecting with the mundane will find this intriguing interpretation of the vampire mythos refreshing.” —Publishers Weekly

“A bloody good time. Clever and heartfelt, Don’t Want to Be Your Monster expertly deconstructs vampire mythology, offering a new, fresh take that will leave readers with big, important questions about how it feels to be made into a monster.” —Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Marvellers
 
“Don’t Want to Be Your Monster is the adrenaline shot the vampire genre needed! Wholly original and gripping until the end, it sank its fangs in me and didn’t let go until the very last page.” —Joel A. Sutherland, author of House of Ash and Bone
 
“A heartfelt tale about the importance of standing up for one another that doesn’t shy away from its message: there will always be more that unites us than divides us.” —Ally Malinenko, author of Ghost Girl

"Deke Moulton's Don't Want to Be Your Monster is the game-changing vampiric middle-grade novel readers have been waiting for! Moulton expertly combined the scares we expect of the genre with deep compassion, love and beautiful Jewish rep. A wonderful debut to begin a long career!" —Esme Symes-Smith, USA Today bestselling author of the Sir Callie series --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

5,0 su 5 stelle Wonderful story about how hate harms
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 marzo 2024

This is a moving story about how hate spreads and harms all sorts of minority populations, told from the perspective of two vampire kids. It is also about friendship, family, love, and acceptance. The multicultural elements are all perfectly rendered.

THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD. Too many caps? TOO BAD. It's THAT GOOD, OKAY!?

I have to be honest. I was a little worried about how someone was going to tactfully handle creating a Jewish vampire. So I slowly creaked open the book... bracing for some cringy moments. But what I found inside was beautiful. Wait, wait, wait. A middle grade book about two boy vampires is "beautiful?" Yes!

The overarching message of the importance of looking out for your fellow humans (or non-humans!) is done so effortlessly and gracefully. The Jewish idea that if *they* are coming for someone, it's only a matter of time before they come for you too is woven throughout in such a lovely non-preachy, organic way.

And can I just take a minute to kvell over the representation in this book??? There are so many different identities in this book and yet no one is DEFINED by their identity- it's just a part of who they are. It was... *chef's kiss*. And the boys with SO MANY EMOTIONS. This is a book that every middle grade boy should read just for how the main characters' emotions are handled and shown in such a realistic way.

But beyond all the beautiful themes of found family and self-expression and living peacefully together that will make you tear up multiple times (especially if you're Jewish)... this story was also just BAD ASS. The pacing was stellar and each chapter ending made me immediately want to turn the page (to the detriment of my sleep).

There are so many levels on which to adore this book. This is one that's going to stay with me. 10/10.

4,0 su 5 stelle Best vampires ever!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 1 agosto 2023

Almost my first thought on beginning to read Don't Want to Be Your Monster was, “Is that an allusion to the Blood Libel, or am I imagining it?” I flipped to the back to check if there was an Author’s Note.

There was, and no, I was not imagining the reference to Blood Libel. Deke Moulton read Dracula and was annoyed at some of the downright silly rules that Stoker made up for vampires: they need to be invited to enter a home, they cannot withstand a crucifix, … Yeah, it’s all pretty weird and arbitrary — it annoyed me, too, when I read Dracula. But Moulton noticed other things I had not, which led them to believe that the vampire myth had its origins in the Blood Libel. From there they were led to reimagine vampires from the ground up. Moulton’s vampires are not Count Dracula, or even Spike and Angel from Buffy — they are much better thought out, and make more sense. They are people you can like and sympathize with.

By the way, I encourage anyone who’s interested to begin by reading the Author’s Note — it doesn’t spoil the story, and it will help you understand where Moulton’s ideas came from.

In fact, this is the story of a small family of vampires living in rural Virginia. The point of view pair is two brothers, Adam and Victor, who have questions about what they are and what’s the right way to live. On learning that a murderer is killing neighborhood kids, they feel morally obliged to do something about it. It’s a good exciting story.

If I have a complaint, it is that Moulton does tend to sermonize. I agree entirely with the point of the sermon and I think the story backs it up well. I just don’t like being preached at — I think most people don’t — and these heavy-handed “This is the point of the story” harangues weaken the lesson instead of making it stronger.

Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Canada for an advance reader copy of Don't Want to Be Your Monster. This review expresses my honest opinion.

I love vampire stories and this one is no exception! The author skillfully introduces new perspectives and vampire “rules”, exposing and tackling harmful stereotypes. Themes of acceptance, coming of age, and found family are thoughtfully interwoven throughout. A+ for diversity and representation! An engaging read—highly recommend!
