Might becoming a monster make you a better human?
From John Sclazi, the blockbuster author of The Kaiju Preservation Society, comes Monsters of Ohio - a thrilling speculative adventure with tentacles, hope amidst hardship and the (potential) end of the world.
Richland, Ohio is a sleepy rural community. But it's now facing ruin after a predatory private equity firm defrauds the local factory. Now, Richland is primed to explode. Just not in the way anyone expected. Because when corporate greed threatens this town, its citizens don't just take it silently - they make a change. A big one. Which might involve a few unexpected tentacles.
Mike Boyd left Richland decades ago to find his way in the world. But when he's called back to tie up loose ends, he finds far more than he bargained for. Teaming up with the overwhelmed Police Chief, Mike becomes entangled in a wild sequence of events that will bring this tiny village to global attention, change humanity forever . . . and, perhaps, spell its doom.
