Here are the Paste Magazine's top YA books this month:

Many of these novels feature characters at their worst and life situations at their most horrifying, so prepare to be unnerved and engaged by these tales.

A horror masterpiece
My favorite horror videogame. This has an insane replay value and I still get spooked every time. The puzzles are great and the monsters are scary as hell. I recommend playing with the lights off. So so scary.

Kaijumax is about huge monsters that are in prison. Humans round them up to contain them so that they don't destroy their cities. It's a funny, violent story about the monsters trying to survive inside of their maximum-security prison. Reading the words that they use for curse words took some getting used to, but they're repeated often enough that you remember fairly quickly. There is a lot of actual drama going on in the story from all angles. The illustrations are cute and brightly colored, so it's definitely fun to look at, but the story, itself, is funny, gory, and sometimes intense. It's definitely not a series for young children!

No real explanation
The movie wasn't horrible, but offered no real explanation of where the monsters came from. They said maybe they drilled into a pocket where they lived. That would have been one heck of a pocket considering the size of the main creature at the end.
