"From broken homes and broken bones, the shadows lingering within the achingly dark Take Your Turn, Teddy seeped out and completely eclipsed me. As soon as I closed this book, I swear, I had to look over my shoulder. Haley Newlin has given me, given all of us, something new to be afraid of... You can never escape your own shadow."

 “Take Your Turn Teddy is a multilayered book, the story of a young boy, whose demons become flesh, and a burnt-out detective, haunted by those he couldn’t save. It’s about how the human mind processes trauma, the shadows that lurk within its folds. This book’s a heartfelt homage to classic horror, Newlin’s love letter to the dark stories that stick with us, that both delight and terrify us.”
