"Roysdon's THAT OCTOBER takes readers on a wild, fun ride filled with '80s nostalgia and a small-town murder mystery with a little espionage thrown in. His teen Sherlocks are easy to root for as they find themselves in the middle of a crime much bigger than they thought. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things."

-- Heather Levy, Anthony-nominated author of "Hurt for Me" and "This Violent Heart"

"A chill-creeping, teeth-clenching, white-knuckle hell of a novel."

-- Libby Cudmore, author of "Negative Girl"

"A fast-paced, small-town thriller with no shortage of twists and turns. A fun romp!"

-- Julia Scheeres, author of "Jesus Land, A Memoir," and "A Thousand Lives, The Untold Story of Hope, Deception and Survival at Jonestown"

"A diverting read, and the allusions to '80s culture really added to the general vividness of this exploration of a devastating small-town crime through the lens of multi-layered social prejudice. THAT OCTOBER is filled with '80s intrigue and nostalgia, while the clear and crisp narration made the setting and mystery still all too modern and relevant. My favorite part of this book is the depiction of friendship between young women struggling to make sense of the insane and often violent world around them-I was rooting for the 'E sisters' right up to the end!"

-- Asha Greyling, author of "The Vampire of Kings Street"
