Monsters exist and Korin Perrin knew this as truth because his grandmother told him so. Korin, raised in the shadow of his older brother Davis, is an imaginative child who believes his brother is a monster. After the death of their grandmother, seven-year-old Korin, blaming Davis for her demise, tries to kill him. Sixteen years following the attempt on Davis’ life, racked with guilt, Korin comes to terms with the fact that Davis may not be the only one who is a monster after all.
Past wrongs needing to be righted, Korin agrees to a hunting trip with his brother and father. But they, along with two friends, never make it to their destination. An accident along the way separates the hunters in the dark forests of Montana during the threat of an oncoming blizzard. As the stranded hunters search for each other and safety, an ancient evil wakes.

Monsters, folklore, murder, and family. Till We Become Monsters is a visceral tale about the monsters we fear in the darkness and the monsters who sit across the dinnertable. Not all is what it seems in this dark and imaginative debut novel, but one thing is clear–Amanda Headlee is an exciting new voice in the horror genre.
– Martin Lestrapes, author of Inside the Outside and Dolph the Unicorn Killer & Other Stories
With her debut novel, Till We Become Monsters, Amanda Headlee raises the genre to a chilling new level. I recommend reading this one with all the lights on.
