Hey, OP! High school English teacher/book nerd here. Hopefully I can help you find a book that you enjoy! I reviewed your criteria, and the only thing I would like you to reconsider is the length. I know, I know, typical English teacher trying to get you to read more, but I promise you if us Redditors can find you a book you LOVE, then you won't want to put it down! I've read the following list, and think they fit your list for the most part (especially the suitable for a 13-year-old young man, this is essential for my job every day!)

Here's some young adult books that fall into the horror (read: horror, supernatural, psychological thriller, etc) or realistic fiction.


The Replacements: Mackie is not one of us. Though he lives in the small town of Gentry, he comes from a world of tunnels and black murky water, a world of living dead girls ruled by a little tattooed princess. He is a Replacement — left in the crib of a human baby sixteen years ago. Now, because of fatal allergies to iron, blood, and consecrated ground, Mackie is slowly dying in the human world.


Asylum: Super creepy, twisting plot line, male protagonist, definitely a great read all around.


Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE BOOK ON THIS LIST A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs. If you like this book, definitely read Asylum; I found those two went well together.

Unwind: This is a dystopian (realistic fiction) novel that we teach in 7th grade in my school district. Our students LOVE it, and the good news is that it is a series! We do require mom and dad to sign off before they read (and have never had any complaints...), but check with your parents before you delve into this one!

Here are a few of the YA series I have enjoyed:

  • The Skinjacker Trilogy by Neal Shusterman. Link to first book, Everlost. Link to second book, Everwild. Link to third book, Everfound. It is a series following a group of teenagers who find themselves stuck in afterlife-on-earth after dying. These books are FANTASTIC; I'd put them on the same level as The Hunger Games.

  • Also, I'd recommend Unwind, also by Neal Shusterman. "In America after the Second Civil War, the Pro-Choice and Pro-Life armies came to an agreement: The Bill of Life states that human life may not be touched from the moment of conception until a child reaches the age of thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, a parent may choose to retroactively get rid of a child through a process called "unwinding." Unwinding ensures that the child's life doesn’t “technically” end by transplanting all the organs in the child's body to various recipients. Now a common and accepted practice in society, troublesome or unwanted teens are able to easily be unwound.
    With breath-taking suspense, this book follows three teens who all become runaway Unwinds: Connor, a rebel whose parents have ordered his unwinding; Risa, a ward of the state who is to be unwound due to cost-cutting; and Lev, his parents' tenth child whose unwinding has been planned since birth as a religious tithing. As their paths intersect and lives hang in the balance, Shusterman examines serious moral issues in a way that will keep readers turning the pages to see if Connor, Risa, and Lev avoid meeting their untimely ends."

  • Peeps by Scott Westerfeld (same guy who wrote Uglies) follows the world as it falls into a unique sort of zombie apocalypse, started by non-fictional a parasite which resides in over half the population's brains.

  • The Chaos Walking Trilogy The Knife of Never Letting Go, The Ask and the Answer, Monsters of Men follows Todd, a boy trapped in a world completely made up of men who can hear each other's thoughts, finds something he has never seen before: a girl.

It's YA, but Unwind by Neal Shusterman is vaguely medical, dystopian, has an upcoming movie (of course), and has one of the few scenes in any book that's come back to haunt me in the middle of the night.

Has she done Unwind by Neal Shusterman? If not, I'd definitely hand her that one! She might also like The Adoration of Jenna Fox

I haven't read this series yet, but Unwind comes pretty close -- it posits a world where abortion is effectively illegal, but teenagers can be "unwound" and recycled for organ donation. Let me know if it's any good.

For people interested in this concept, I highly recommend Shusterman's Unwind. It's quick reading but quite interesting.

[This] (http://www.amazon.com/Unwind-Dystology-Neal-Shusterman/dp/1416912053/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1BGV2L2FWNXQM&coliid=I2IB05LZCRBV85) book looks like an interesting concept. I have a love for dystopian novels and this one fits the bill. It is about people having the right to "unwind" their children. It sounds like a scary concept and I am intrigued by it. I have quite a few books like it on my [book WL] (http://amzn.com/w/1BGV2L2FWNXQM). I just recently read a great book about North Korea called [Escape from Camp 14] (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_5?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=escape%20from%20camp%2014&sprefix=escap%2Cstripbooks%2C282&rh=i%3Astripbooks%2Ck%3Aescape%20from%20camp%2014&ajr=2) which is a great memoir about a man's journey out of North Korea. I used to live in South Korea so the idea of North Korea and how they treat their people fascinates me.

I like big books and I cannot lie. I love to read and have several books to read on my nightstand but sometimes no time to read them. But that is life so it goes!

Have you read the book Unwind? Possibly the creepiest book I've ever read about a society that allows you to "abort" unwanted kids when they're 16. C R E E P Y
