But there's one thing we all have in common: the futures we're writing about are all after the world takes a turn for the worst.
Dystopias are among the most popular genres in YA literature today, and we're all honored to be exploring the vast world of dark futures.
This blog is dedicated to highlighting the best of the best in the dystopian field. To read about the inception and plans for the blog, click here. We'll be exploring books, movies, and television; interviewing authors; reviewing dystopian works; and introducing you to our own new works. With a new blog post by a different author every weekday, you're sure to find something you enjoy!
Are you new to dystopian works? I recently blogged about dystopia and why it's popular in society today.
But....we all know why you're here. For prizes! This month, we're giving away SIGNED SWAG!
This month, we're giving away a SIGNED copy of Rick Yancey's MONTRUMOLOGIST (did I mention it won the Printz Honor?) and a SIGNED copy of Carrie Ryan's THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH and signed bookmarks by PJ Hoover and Maria Snyder and a signed magnet by Stacey Jay! Monsters and magic and zombies, oh my!

Awesome blog guys! :)
What a fantastic idea! I've just recently discovered a love for dystopic novels and am always looking for new ones to read and review. This is a great resource and I'm looking forward to all of your books when they are released. Thanks!
Found you through Laura and Lisa's tweet.
Def looking forward to reading all of your books. :)
Can't wait to see what's coming up. I'm posting a link on my class blog to share with my students who love dystopian literature.
*waves hello* Found your blog through twitter; have been anticipating Across the Universe. Will be looking forward to checking out the other reads also.
Yay! Congrats on the new blog. I'll be checking in for all news dystopia.
Hi everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I second Jeff! Thanks for stopping by everyone!
Congrats on the new blog you guys!
This looks like tremendous fun!
p.s. your bio says "five" writers, but I only see four? Oh dear. Did the zombies claim one of you already?
This is awesome-sauce! I love dystopian novels more than just about anything.
Congrats on the new blog!! I'm spreading the word. :)
Love dystopian and can't wait to see more discussion about it.
Definitely thanks everyone for stopping by! w00t! Feels like a par-tay!
Meet you all in dystopia. I'm working on my dystopian novel. It's a blast to write! I met Carrie Ryan recently - she's great.
Wow! My WIP is dystopic/thirller/contemporary (yeah, both contemporary AND dystopic, I swear!) so I am stoked to find this blog.
Posted about this (and your contest) here:

Thanks!
I love Dystopia (well, OK, I don't want to live in a dystopia, but I just can't get enough of reading/writing about it). Looking forward to the future of the blog.
Super blog (love the title!) Looking forward to following. And great contest, by the way. I loved the Forest of Hands and Teeth, but I haven't read the other yet. Looks fantastic!
I love the idea of the blog - and would be a follower even without the fabulous prizes :)
I am so excited about this new site!!! Woohoo!! Can't wait to see what there is to come!! I'm excited!!
What a great blog!
Hi Susan, thanks for checking us out. Yes, there is a fifth member but we're not quite ready to say who it is yet. Mysterious, no? Stay tuned!
Ooh, LOVE this blog! Great contest, too. I'm entered!
Super awesome fantastic! This is my genre too so I can't wait to read more from this blog :) Tell Elana thanks for sending me ;)
@Jeff Thanks for clearing that up (or not. Ah, mystery!). I will definitely stay tuned to see what (and who) you have up your sleeve. :)
Sounds great! I will keep an eye on this site. I'm quickly becoming a fan of dystopian/sci-fi.
This blog is hot. Can't wait to blog about it on my site. Thanks.
This will be a fun blog to follow! Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with.
I'm in. If my novel is only three or four years in the future, is it considered dystopian?
Anyhow, great blog.
This is going to be a fabulous blog!
Great contest guys. Can't wait for all your books - they look great!
Great contest everyone! Congratulations on the new blog and your forthcoming books!
Found you thru deb marshal and I'm so glad I did. I am so happy for all of you and am eagerly awaiting your debuts!
The blog looks fantastic!
Congratulations on the new blog. I have to admit, I'd never heard of dystopia until this year. The genre has me intrigued. Thanks for the giveaway.
I read J. Scott Savage's copy of Carrie Ryan's book. I SO need my own--and a signed one? That would rock.
Congrats on the new blog! It's grrrreat!
thanks for the contest! :)

This one is a lovely blog. And thanks so much for the awesome contest! I love dystopia!
Great blog! I'm becoming a fan of dystopia. (And I want that copy of The Forest of Hands and Teeth too!
But I wouldn't be disappointed with Munstrumologist either.)
I'm following a course at my university on Visions of the Future at the moment, so this blog comes at the right time.
I hope that soon we can win some books written by you!
Ooh, awesome prizes! :)
