"This isn't the Ohio of my youth. Monsters and horror in every small town! This book made me laugh--and shudder. Wonderful chilling fun!" - R.L. Stine, author Goosebumps and Fear Street

Monsters of Ohio is a heartfelt exploration of a tentacular solution to the struggles of the modern world from the New York Times bestselling author of Starter Villain

Welcome to Richland, Ohio. Things aren't great.

The town's biggest employer is closing shop, and Richland's on the brink. It's where Mike Boyd, with his own set of problems, finds himself returning to after decades away.

He's not planning to stay.

But Richland has other plans for Mike, his old friend Dave, and a newcomer Andi. They're caught in a swirl of local troubles, private equity, executive theft... and something extremely weird involving Jeremy Keller's prize cow.

Welcome to Richland. Leave your expectations behind. Bring a tarp.
