Summary |
They say monsters are not born but created, and such is the case for young Ben. To the kids at school, Ben is known as "retard." Eleven years old, he is tall and overweight, with blond hair and blue eyes, unwilling or unable to fight back. Every day at school is a battle. Between the constant teasing and lack of protection from teachers, Ben feels completely alone, and his home life with abusive parents is no better. For the most part, despite his difficulties, Ben is a happy child until one night when his innocence is ripped away like the devil stealing a soul. While listening to his drug-addicted parents argue upstairs, Ben begins to fear for his own life--but this night is different. This is the night a monster is born, accidentally created, and Ben's small town best prepare for blood. |
