A book about stories and myths, about courage and loss and the fear of loss, A Monster Calls is storytelling at its richest, most essential and best. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. “Go away now.”’ But Conor is mistaken, it isn’t the monster he’s been expecting, the one from his nightmare, the one he’s had nearly every night since his mother started her treatments, the one with the darkness and the wind and the screaming… This monster is in his back garden, this monster is something different. As they do… “Go away” Conor whispered into the darkness of his bedroom, trying to push the nightmare back, not let it follow him into the world of waking. The monster showed up just after midnight.
