In the thrilling prequel novel to the megahit BOOM! Studio series, monster-slayer Erica Slaughter races to solve a horrific murder before the townsfolk take matters into their own hands.
As a member of the Black Masks, Erica Slaughter travels to towns all over the country to find and kill monsters that only children can see. It's a gruesome, traumatic job that often forces her to hide in the shadows and live a nomadic life. But it’s all worth it if she can help save children from a fate that she suffered.
She arrives in Badwater to determine whether or not a horrific murder of a twelve-year-old boy was done by a bear—or an unseen monster.
Erica knows that if this is in fact the work of a monster, one of the children is calling it to Badwater—but who? And can she figure it out before the townspeople grab their pitchforks and take matters into their own hands?
