Über diesen Titel

A poignant and evocative novel that explores the bounds of familial love, the high stakes of parenthood, and the tenuous divide between fiction and reality.

Thirteen years ago, Sylvia Gray's young daughter, Faye, attacked her babysitter in order to impress the Kingman, a monster she and her best friend had encountered on the Internet. When the now twenty-three-year-old Faye goes missing, leaving her toddler behind, Sylvia launches a search that propels her back into the past and back into the Kingman's orbit. With the help of her estranged husband and a sister she hasn't spoken to in years, Sylvia draws dangerously closer not only to Faye, but also to the truth about the monster that once inspired her. Will Sylvia be able to reach her daughter before history repeats itself? Or will it be Sylvia, this time, who loses her grip on reality and succumbs to the dark powers of this monstrous fiction?

Both literary and suspenseful, Monsters We Have Made confronts the terrors of parenthood and examines the boundaries of love. Most importantly, it reminds us of the power of stories to shape our lives.

Kritikerstimmen

Finalist for the Minnesota Book Awards

"Lindsay Starck explores tragedies like the 2014 Slender Man stabbing, and in doing so, opens safe passage for readers to engage with the monsters of our collective imagination. . . . Through feats of characterization, creative forms, and mesmerizing language, the author moves the reader out of judgment and into empathy."
North American Review

“Starck (Noah’s Wife) terrifies and captivates in this profound meditation on the power of stories that doubles as a twisty and possibly supernatural mystery. . . . Starck’s prose is by turns gorgeous and unsettling, creating a dreamlike tale that slides effortlessly between fantasy and reality as it interrogates such themes as forgiveness, generational trauma, and the responsibilities and burdens of motherhood. This is sure to resonate.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“For a parent, there is no greater fear than something happening to your child. In Monsters We Have Made Lindsay Starck jams a knife right into this nerve. She—truly—scared the hell out of this reader, as I breathlessly followed these characters through years of love and heartbreak, mystery and paranoia and paralyzing horror. Beware the Kingman—and beware Lindsay Starck, who swallows you whole with her masterful storytelling.”
— Benjamin Percy, author of The Ninth Metal

“A riveting journey into the bright and terrifying landscape between what is real and what is imagined. In Monsters We Have Made, Lindsay Starck conjures an exquisitely suspenseful story of a nightmare crime and a family’s hard-won love and forgiveness that can conquer even the most dangerous acts of the mind. Fast-paced and vivid, a book that will transport you to the edge of the familiar world and draw you back.”
— Ariel Djanikian, author of The Prospectors
