4 Brilliant Dedication Pages

November 23, 2018      Erica Robyn      32 Comments

4 Brilliant Dedication Pages
I always read the dedication page. I just love seeing how creative authors can be when putting this together!
Where it is the season of being thankful, I have decided to put together this little post of photos of four really awesome pages that I have seen recently.
Enjoy!

4 Brilliant Dedication Pages

Source: Are You Scared, Darth Vader? by Adam Rex
When I cracked open this book, I was really hoping that the dedication would be something along these words. Adam Rex didn’t let me down!

A bit creepy, but so creative!

Source: Don’t Push The Button by Bill Cotter
Knowing that this book was centered around a creature that was just itching to push a button, this dedication made me laugh right out loud. 
Source: The Nightmarchers by J. Lincoln Fenn
When I first read this dedication, I immediately thought it was rather eerie. What happened to the girl in the woods? Why doesn’t she play in them anymore? But then later, I wondered if this was more about a little girl that had simply grown up. I just can’t decide now; it really could go either way, especially after reading the novel.
Thanks for reading!
Has a dedication page ever jumped out at you?

    This is a cool idea for a blog post! I love the “played in the woods” one. That was me as a kid. VE Schwab writes really good dedications. Some of them are weird and magical.

    The dedication page in the book I just finished says, "For all the lost girls – may you find your way home." So perfect for the book!

    This is a great post idea! I can't think of one off the top of my head, but that last one sure makes you look twice. Without knowing the novel, I would have assumed it's a story inspired by a childhood friend or sibling who is now an adult…. Or maybe the author herself?

    I never read dedications pages for mainstream books. I look at the Indie books to see if bloggers I know are mentioned as that is fun.

    There are some great dedications out there. I love the dedication in the seventh Harry Potter book: "…and to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end." Makes me teary-eyed every time.

I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!
