Monsters

When the dead decided to get back up, it left two parents to protect their daughter. Fighting for a place to call their own, normal has taken on an entirely different meaning.

They may not be able to do anything about the corpses, but that doesn't mean they've given up living.

Told in a braided narrative format, Monsters follows the life of Lana as she grows up in a world filled with the living dead. From the time the world fell to building a community, Lana has to fight for everything she has.

"Samantha Carlomagno's Monsters demonstrates a crisp, measured writing style that, from the word go, immerses readers in the textured world the author has created. " - Asher Syed, Reader's Favorite

"At its core, Monsters examines what it means to hold onto humanity when everything familiar has disintegrated. Through the eyes of a young girl growing up amid decay and danger, Samantha explores family, fear, and the instinct to rebuild. The novel asks difficult questions about morality, hope, and identity-questions that linger long after the final page." - William Reimers, The Book Revue
