Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea is a young adult gothic horror novel written by American author April Genevieve Tucholke and published on August 15, 2013 by Dial Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Penguin Books.

Blending faded decadence and the thrilling dread of gothic horror, April Genevieve Tucholke weaves a dreamy, twisting contemporary romance, as gorgeously told as it is terrifying—a debut to watch.

The School Library Journal reviewer wrote "Tucholke's gothic tone, plot, and setting, complete with a deteriorating estate full of dark family secrets, is reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier or YA fare such as Kami Garcia's and Margaret Stohl's Beautiful Creatures.

"[2] Publishers Weekly wrote of the novel, "Tucholke luxuriates in the details of small-town life, including her characters' gourmand tendencies and their quick-witted interactions, in a chilling supernatural exploration of free will and reality's fluidity.

"[3] Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea was nominated by YALSA for a Teens Top Ten Award for books published in 2013.
