Kort biografi
Chuck Wendig is a novelist, a screenwriter, and a freelance penmonkey. He's written too much. He should probably stop. Give him a wide berth, as he might be drunk and untrustworthy. He currently lives in the wilds of Pennsyltucky with a wonderful wife and two very stupid dogs. He is represented by Stacia Decker of the Donald Maass Literary Agency.

Chuck Wendig is a novelist, screenwriter, and game designer. He's the author of BLACKBIRDS, DOUBLE DEAD and DINOCALYPSE NOW, and is co-writer of the short film PANDEMIC, the feature film HiM, and the Emmy-nominated digital narrative COLLAPSUS. He lives in Pennsylvania with wife, taco terrier, and tiny human. [retrieved from Amazon.com author page, 5/27/2014

Charles David Wendig (born April 22, 1976) is an American author, comic book writer, screenwriter, and blogger.

Molly Grim feels that she got the raw end of the deal: a deadbeat (now just dead) dad, while her mom, Polly Ashe, kept Molly's older brother, Dustin, who is set to take over the odd funeral home she ran with her friend Vivacia. So Molly, a 13-year-old emancipated minor thanks to Uncle Gordo, shows up at the family estate, hoping for enough cash to get her through costuming school (and maybe, deep down, hoping for a family connection with her brother). But Dustin is caught off guard, and neither he nor Vivacia are welcoming; they allow Molly to stay with them only because they have to, and Molly snoops to find out as much as she can. It turns out this isn't a normal funeral home at all...but Molly figures it out too late, once she's already obtained the Fivefold Key from a ghost in the wallpaper and opened the gate in the wall in the woods. Uncle Gordo rushes through, turning into a Devourer who will suck magic from the supernatural cemetery unless Dustin, Molly, and a council of five other creatures can stop him.

Action-packed, tongue-in-cheek, and supernaturally inventive.

Quotes

Molly could be quite stubborn. Especially when she was wrong. She knew this. And yet. And yet. (81)

Curiosity and stubbornness formed a one-two punch. (112)

"Monstrousness isn't because of who you are, but because of the choices you make." (Marsha, 196)

"Gabe thinks he knows things, which often means he's not receptive to knowing new things." (Marsha, 255)

One of the best Star Wars books I've read. It answers a lot of questions

I've been waiting for this book since I read my first Star Wars book. If you're into SW and want to know what happens in the gap between ROTJ and TFA, you should read the book.

This was a cute little book and really did feel gentle. I have read Wendig's other writing book, Damn FIne Story, and not that I felt that one was too aggressive, but the tone of this one definitely works more with where I'm at personally with wanting to write. It's still funny and a bit crass, which is what I expect and enjoy from Wendig. Definitely check it out if you need some soft inspiration and a reminder that you can be kind to yourself while still putting in the work.
