At night she had wanted to read, and yet something - a fear she couldn’t quite pin-point - had stopped her. It was as though she’d been afraid of becoming too involved with the characters and plot, of having to relive the nightmare.
Chris Westwood writes a scary book about scary books in Calling All Monsters. Young Joanne finds that the horror creations of her favourite writer are crashing terrifyingly into her real life. And when she and the writer join forces to oppose them, she learns, like Dr. Frankenstein, that it’s deadly difficult to unmake your own monsters. You will never read another horror story again.
