Monsters in America Jacob Wrich

From the author of The Prodigals comes a frightening, funny and prescient collection of short stories about the changing landscape of America. Monsters in America delves into a world that appears eerily similar to our own. But things are not as they seem. Beneath the surface of a happy marriage, an idyllic life on a farm or a budding new relationship, lurk giant snakes, women transforming into violent cats, Halloween trolls who terrorize children and politicians that feast on the blood of voters. These monsters, terrifying, oddly funny and unforgettable, illuminate the dangers of America's social and political climate and the consequences of losing our humanity to ideologies.
