    About this ebook

    For most children, the monster under the bed or in the closet is just a fantasy, something to grow out of. But Ben Downs’ monster is real. Now locked away in a mental institution, a young reporter turns to him for answers about his troubled past, but what she hears may be too much for her to bear.
