Relation As Books We are the Monsters

While cruising a dark country road late one Saturday night, five high school friends accidentally kill an old drunk. Hiding the body is easy. Lying about what happened is even easier. But lies have a way of breeding Monsters in Springdale, Kansas, and the Monsters have come to play.

"Here’s the truth about growing up in a small town: you tell lies to survive.

I worked at a grocery store during high school, part time on the evenings and weekends. I saw plenty of strange things there: avocados stuffed in a barrel of fresh popcorn left to rot, a coworker who punched holes in the caps of beer bottles with an awl, pies marked “Verda’s own home-baked” which came frozen on pallets with the Sunday dairy truck. I found a body in the trash bin once, but nobody can prove who put it there. No one can prove it was there.

There were too many bodies for a town the size of Springdale. The name of the town is a lie, but the bodies aren’t. All of them. When you find a body lying with the outdated yogurt, wilted lettuce, and cardboard boxes, you make up stories to cope. You can’t process a body in the grocery store trash bin. A trick of the light, you say. The way the shadows fell across certain bits of debris like the coat hanger beast in a little boy’s bedroom. That head of lettuce, there, in the corner, looks like a human hand.

Bodies are bodies.

Dead is dead.

And lies are lies."

Appraise About Books We are the Monsters

Glad I did not pass this one up. Nothing more wonderful than a free book that was really good. This book is dark and thought provoking...well written display of how guilt can completely over take a person's thoughts creating a monster. You should download this book if you havent aleady!

(free Kindle book) Good book about the dark side of living in a small town (although this is a particularly dark small town) - the ending surprised me, which doesn't really happen often.

I feel bad rating books when I haven't read the entire thing but I just couldn't make it all the way through. I've read textbooks that were more interesting.I'm glad I got this book free because I would have been mad if I'd payed even $.99 for it.

It was okay. I saw all these great reviews and decided to give it a try. It is not that bad for a free book. The writing is good...the storyline is okay only, the ending was somewhat confusing and disappointing. It required too much thinking on my part so I just quickly skimmed the last few pages just to be done with the book.

We Are the Monsters by Aaron Polson is an intelligent - and disturbing - psychological horror that captures the 90s high school zeitgeist of Small Town, USA. Set in Kansas and firmly grounded in the relational reality of dysfunctional families and strained friendships, the novel also explores the fantastical boundaries of the mind - including the lies, self-deceptions, and irrational fears we have all experienced at one time or another. This is a mature read but not explicitly graphic or

After they first few chapters and the Ken/Dan confusion, good reading. Reminded me like It by Stephen King.

Too much talk about dead bodies and secrets in small towns so I didnt finish it.
