The New York Times bestseller, Monster, by Frank Peretti, is a supernatural thriller where wilderness survival meets cryptid horror, blending creature-feature suspense, survival stakes, and small-town conspiracy.

"This is more than a horror tale." --Library Journal starred review

Miles away from the hectic city, Reed and Rebecca hike into the beautiful Northwester woods. They are surrounded by gorgeous mountains, waterfalls, and hundreds of acres of unspoiled wilderness.

During their first night camping, an unearthly wail pierces the calm of the forest. Then something emerges from the dense woods. Everything that follows is a blur to Reed--except the unforgettable image of a huge creature carrying his wife into the darkness.

Enter into deep wilderness where the rules of civilization no longer apply. A world where strange shadows lurk. Where creatures long attributed to overactive imaginations and nightmares are the hunters . . . and people are the hunted.

Set deep in the untamed forests of the Pacific Northwest, Monster is perfect for readers who love mysterious creatures, isolated settings, and page-turning suspense. Includes discussion questions for book clubs.

Critic reviews

'Peretti expertly builds the bone-chilling suspense, but this is more than a horror tale . . . With shades of the television show Lost, expect Monster to be a major hit.' --Library Journal, starred review

Language

It's really funny when I listen to the characters talk to each other. The conversations rarely feel genuine unless its the sheriff. The sheriff talks like a sheriff. I had a hard time with the other characters, liking or disliking them... believing them at all. I am going to say it might be because this is abridged. Other than that.... I would be happy if most of the people in this book get eaten.

Still, its an average to below-average listen.

It was such a clever intricately twisting story, not knowing who was evil until they showed their real colours

Great Story
