About this listen

The lifetime story of a boy and his monster.

When Toby Floren was eight years old, he discovered a monster living in the woods behind his house. A ghastly, frightening creature with claws, fangs, and a taste for human flesh. As he ran out of the forest, screaming, Toby felt that he'd been lucky to escape with his life.

Years later, Toby finds comfort with the creature. It's his own special secret - something that nobody else in the world knows about. Somebody to talk to. Somebody to confide in. Sure, Toby has concerns about his own sanity, but really, what boy wouldn't want to be best friends with a monster in the woods, especially if he's being tormented by bullies? The creature, who he names Owen, may be the answer to his problems...

From Jeff Strand, the author of Pressure, comes the story of a macabre, decades-long friendship. A relationship that will last their entire lives, through times of happiness, tragedy, love, loss, madness, and complete darkness.

To be honest I picked this title based on the cover expecting a goofy slasher fest.
Instead I got an eerily relatable story about a social outcast whose only friend in the world is a 7ft tall creature in the woods.
Together they weather lifes ups and downs and stick together for better or worse(usually worse)
I recommend this to anyone who's interested in an unconventional tale of growing up, friendship and horror.

Great find
