Wanna get amped for another Halloween-perfect read? Then you are definitely gonna wanna keep Wranglestone by Darren Charlton on your radar! This debut gay zombie UK YA releases from Stripes on February 6, , and we&#;ve got a gorgeous cover and an excerpt for you! But first, here&#;s a little more info on the book:
