By Vincent Zandri

THE MONSTER OF FLORENCE TERRORIZED THE TUSCAN REGION FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS. NOW NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING THRILLER AWARD WINNING AUTHOR, VINCENT ZANDRI, BRINGS YOU A HORRIFYING STORY WRITTEN FROM THE KILLER'S POINT OF VIEW.

IT IS ALSO BASED ON THE TRUTH.

Will the Monster of Florence ever be found? To this day his (or her or their) identity remains a frustrating mystery to both Italian law enforcement and INTERPOL. But here's what they know: the Monster, who was once the inspiration for Thomas Harris's cannibalistic serial killer, Hannibal Lector, not only needed to kill his victims, he also felt the need to brutally mutilate them. This story, which is graphic in nature, explores the mind of the Monster, and is written from the 1st person POV. It also explores what is largely regarding as his final kill which occurred in 1985. Will the Monster ever reemerge and kill again? Or has he died, his identity being revealed only to the devil. No one really knows, and that in itself is a very scary thing.

From Thriller Award winning and 2019 Derringer Award nominated author, Vincent Zandri, comes a short horror read that should not be read during the dark of night. It is the stuff of nightmares. For readers of Stephen King, JA Konrath, Thomas Harris, Scott Nicholson and more, this story is as unputdownable as it is frightening.
