Howl

In "The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza," critically acclaimed author Shaun David Hutchinson delves into the often traumatic experience of growing up through the eyes of Virgil Knox, who believes he was attacked by a monster. Despite his injuries, the residents of Merritt dismiss his claims, attributing his condition to drunkenness or other rational explanations. As the new kid in town, Virgil grapples with his fear while trying to maintain a low profile, even as he remains haunted by the belief that the monster is still out there, threatening his safety and sanity.
