Description:

"Easily the best book I've read all year." --Logan-Ashley Kisner, author of Old Wounds

"As eerie and haunting as it is heartfelt, The Monsters We Made is a masterpiece." --Taylor Grothe, author of Hollow

"It's one part horror, one part heartfelt, and all freaky eldritch conspiracy." --K. Valentin, author of An Amateur Witch's Guide to Murder

Two friends must uncover the truth about the bloody reappearance of a cryptid in this queer, X-Files-inspired thriller from the author of Bad Creek.

Brief description: Peyton June is an author and illustrator whose most recent novel is Bad Creek. When she's not writing, she enjoys riding her fifty-year-old Schwinn bicycle, collecting antique photographs, and ghost hunting. She lives outside Seattle, Washington.

Review Quotes: From hoax to holy shit, I couldn't put The Monsters We Made down. Peyton June deftly contrasts the unyielding hope of a paranormal investigator against the well-earned distrust of a jaded skeptic. Amid the eerie small-town paranormal mystery are glimpses into the complicated lives of two queer young women desperate to live their authentic selves. It's one part horror, one part heartfelt, and all freaky eldritch conspiracy.-- "K. Valentin, author of An Amateur Witch's Guide to Murder"
