Monsters is part of the Fountainhead Press V Series of Readers. It s under the bed; it s in the closet. It s the thing in the basement, but it s also the thing in the mirror, hot breath on the back of your neck, cold eyes staring at you with loathing and hunger. The monster sometimes inspires heroes: a community s bravest members rise up and defend people s livelihoods against an indescribable threat. But in the dead of night, when no one can hear, even a hero might admit that a monster inspires one thing more than any other: fear.
