In a new home with a new stepmother and stepsister, plagued by the memory of his mother's untimely death, thirteen-year-old Will Morris is struggling to adjust to his new life. Unfortunately for Will, larger troubles lay ahead.

WARNING: This book contains mild language and more-than-mild violence in addition to heaps and heaps of sharp teeth, splattery monster mayhem, and high levels of gory fun. Additionally, this novel was written two years prior to Stranger Things--any similarities are purely coincidence.
This is the first young adult novel by author Thom Roberts, whose writing has been praised by New York Times Bestselling Author James Rollins as "not to be missed."
