About this book
What's a boy to do—in Caleb Roehrig's YA paranormal romance The Fell of Dark—when his crush is a hot vampire with a mystery to solve? The only thing August Pfeiffer hates more than algebra is living in a vampire town. Located at a nexus of mystical energy fields, Fulton Heights is practically an electromagnet for supernatural drama. And when a mysterious (and annoyingly hot) vampire boy arrives with a cryptic warning, Auggie suddenly finds himself at the center of it. An ancient and terrible power is returning to the earthly realm, and somehow Auggie seems to be the only one who can stop it.
Censorship history
In 2024, "The Fell of Dark" by Caleb Roehrig was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States, primarily due to concerns over its portrayal of supernatural themes and romantic relationships involving a vampire character. Specific complaints were raised during school board meetings, where parents expressed discomfort with the book's content, leading to votes that resulted in its removal from school libraries. The bans were part of a broader trend of challenges against young adult literature perceived to contain controversial themes, reflecting ongoing debates about appropriate reading material for students.
