About this eBook

I killed a demon. I don't know if it was really, technically a demon, but I do know that he was some kind of monster, with fangs and claws and the whole bit, and he killed a lot of people. So I killed him. I think it was the right thing to do. At least the killing stopped.

Well, it stopped for a while.

In I Am Not a Serial Killer, John Wayne Cleaver saved his town from a murderer even more appalling than the serial killers he obsessively studies.

But it turns out even demons have friends, and the disappearance of one has brought another to Clayton County. Soon there are new victims for John to work on at the mortuary and a new mystery to solve. But John has tasted death, and the dark nature he used as a weapon---the terrifying persona he calls "Mr. Monster"---might now be using him.

No one in Clayton is safe unless John can vanquish two nightmarish adversaries: the unknown demon he must hunt and the inner demon he can never escape.

In this sequel to his brilliant debut, Dan Wells ups the ante with a thriller that is just as gripping and even more intense. He apologizes in advance for the nightmares.

For those who've read Dan Wells' previous book, I Am Not A Serial Killer, this recent installment will do it justice. Despite having taken a vastly different approach to the Mystery-Suspense genre, Mr. Monster greatly adds on to the sensation of genuine curiosity that we felt in the last book. John Wayne Cleaver definitely strikes us with a new perspective on life through his sociopath tendencies, and makes the reader think in a new light on how he deals with a struggle in emotion, rationality, and constitution. While also inviting new ideas as to the nature of the character, we see another villain that, while not as characterizing or close as the last, definitely comes as a surprising, but well invited twist. As I re-read this series, Mr. Monster remains my favorite.
