Summary

"Monsters aren't real."

That's what sixteen-year-old Lucy Brannigan has always believed, until, broke and desperate, she and her father move to an isolated farmhouse in the small Scottish town of Helsbridge. It's their last chance, and they have to make it work.

For Lucy, life appears to be over. With no friends, and surrounded by miles of thick woodland, there's nothing to do. But why did the previous occupants leave their belongings behind? And why is their new home surrounded by dozens of scarecrows? And worst of all...what is the cause of the horrifying screams that wake her in the night?

This summer, Lucy will be forced to learn the dark secret of Helsbridge. And as the bodies pile up, and the blood flows in rivers, she makes a shocking discovery that will change the course of her life forever.

Monsters are real...and no amount of flesh can sate their diabolical hunger.

Summer of the Monsters is a tender and brutal coming-of-age horror story from the savage mind of David Sodergren, author of Maggie's Grave and The Haar.

Contains mature themes.

I was so gripped I couldn’t put it down! Couldn’t recommend this book enough, if you liked The Harr then you’ll love this

I love the way DS writes characters, they are soo real to life, they talk how we talk, they react how people actually react. His books alway feel like fairytales but with modern day settings. Another classic, the only grumble I ever have with his books is that I want more!

Magical as always

It was an enjoyable listen, but maybe it's aimed at teens?
felt a little tame.

Didn't have the scares
