Description
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.

Reviews / Votes
'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 * Library Journal *More details
