Before a MONSTER was born... MONSTER told the harrowing story of Richard, Mary and their son Andrew. Translated into two additional languages (including a print-run of 40,000 paperback copies in Japan), MONSTER also became a feature length film - directed by one of the original authors, Matt Shaw. Now, for the first time ever, we get a look at to what turned Richard into a raging psychopath and Mary into his puppet. We get to witness the birth of a MONSTER .

WARNING: THIS IS AN EXTREME HORROR NOVEL. There is gore. There is bad language. There are scenes of a sexual nature. There are scenes of domestic abuse. But hidden underneath it all is also a chilling story. Please do not purchase this book if you are easily shocked, disgusted or offended. This book is not for you. Teaming up together for the first time since 'ART', Michael Bray (Whisper) and Matt Shaw (Sick B\*stards) bring you MONSTER; the haunting tale of a normal woman who wakes up to find herself part of a nightmare. "He's there, standing in the doorway. Seven foot tall, a face hidden beneath a mask of stretched, rotting skin. He isn't saying anything. He's just watching me, his head cocked to one side as though judging me. I pulled on the restraints but they didn't budge. I was trapped. I was his prisoner. I asked him what he wanted but he just repeated my sentence in a childish voice. I asked him for a second time and, for a second time, he repeated me. When I screamed, he screamed, raising his hands to his ears and closing his eyes as though my panicked yelling scared him. Who is he? What does he want with me? I begged for him to let me go and he responded by repeating me - again - word for word. Frustrated I started screaming. He turned and ran from the room. He didn't go far though. I can hear him out there. I can hear his heavy, wheezy breathing. A couple of seconds went by and he stuck his head around the corner. He didn't move from that spot. He just stood there, watching me once more."
