This appealing and accessible compilation of three novellas is both a book of paranormal fiction and a how-to for teens wanting to be writers. With notes from and discussion among the authors throughout, each work focuses on a different aspect of the creative process: Stiefvater's story focuses on character growth and personal knowledge; Gratton's on world-building; and Yovanoff's on the all-consuming idea.
