Gretchen McNeil’s standalone novels show her range within YA fiction. Ten (2012) is a teen take on And Then There Were None, Possess (2011) is a supernatural horror about a girl who can perform exorcisms, and 3:59 (2013) involves parallel universes. Her more recent standalones, Dig Two Graves and Three Drops of Blood, continue her horror work, while I’m Not Your Manic Pixie Dream Girl (2016) is a contemporary comedy.
The nine standalones span from 2011 to 2025, and they cover a wider range of tones than her series fiction. McNeil moves between horror, sci-fi, and comedy with apparent ease, though the thriller and horror books remain the core of her catalog.
