"Part tangled love story and part love affair with comics... centers on that tenuous bit of time between childhood and adulthood, when anything seems possible." -- Library Journal

Sheila Gower will do anything to get away from small-town nowhere Iowa and her dead-end swing-shift job at a gas station. Right now, all she has is her dreams. So does the cute young stranger who calls himself Peter Parker -- a daredevil cabdriver with an immersive Spider-Man obsession, a gun, and a plan: They'll fake a kidnapping, empty the register, and head for Chicago to complete a mysterious mission. Sheila thinks it's a marvel of an idea. Until the colorful rush of their fantasy getaway collides with reality.

"The literary equivalent of a pop music mashup... Inspired by 'Spider-Man,' Westerns, coming-of-age novels and Bonnie and Clyde" (Chicago Tribune), The Night Gwen Stacy Died is both "superbly suspenseful" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) and "sweetly eccentric" (The New York Times) -- a love story about loss, mutual rescue, and finding our real identities.
