📚DEAD THINGS ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR is on YALSA's Best Fiction for Young Adults list for 2025📚 Librarians have given so much love to this book. As a kid who spent countless hours among the shelves of my own library, I can't express how much that means to me.

Dead Things Are Closer Than They Appear, by Robin Wasley, is, no surprise, a zombie book. What is a surprise is the tender way it looks at community and friendship and forgiveness and working together through anything. www.sonderbooks.com/Teens/dead_t...

Finished @robinwasley.bsky.social's zombie apocalypse novel, Dead Things Are Closer Than They Appear, and I LOVED IT. It was deeply funny and also resonant, and exactly the weird I needed right now. 📚👍🏻

It has been awhile 😂 But I’ve come to say that DEAD THINGS ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR is a William C. Morris Award finalist. I had actually planned to write a whole post today, in the last month of my debut year, to talk about what DTACTTA means to me.
