Don't Stand So Close - Hardcover

"Eric Red brings his considerable talent as a screenwriter to bear on this powerful tale of sexual adventure and teenage turmoil. Erotic and suspenseful, breathlessly narrated, incisively characterised, Don't Stand So Close had me in its grip until I finished it at a single sitting." --Ramsey Campbell, author of The Grin of the Dark

"In Don't Stand So Close, Eric Red takes what, at first, seems like a typical teen coming-of-age sex romp and leads it down a very dark and twisted path."

"Being 'Hot For Teacher' has never been more disturbing." --Nancy A. Collins, author of Sunglasses After Dark

"Don't Stand So Close is a riveting coming-of-age thriller. Heartbreaking, nail-biting, compelling and deeply insightful. Highly recommended for any teen who stands with one foot in the shadows." --Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Dust & Decay
