In this haunting new collection from award-winning short story author Kristi Petersen Schoonover, you'll find shape-shifting grief, overwhelming terror, and the stark realization that the monsters are not about, but within.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the shadows, monsters lurk. </p><p>In this disturbing new collection from award-winning short story author Kristi Petersen Schoonover, a hungry volcano demands more and a talking piranha predicts the future. A plastic Easter bunny taunts a struggling husband, ancient Egyptian jars tempt a former convict, and a man-eating tree mocks a bereft mother. Kudzu devours a sleeping town, and seagull bones whisper long-buried secrets. </p><p>These monsters are simply stand-ins for those we face every day: shape-shifting grief and overwhelming terror; soul-consuming love and all-possessing fear. We can rail against them or embrace them, but they are always there.</p><p>Waiting, and unconquerable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Kristi Petersen Schoonover does it again with this original collection of observant and haunting stories that will leave readers turning pages long into the night as they tell themselves: <em>Just one more story . . . just one more . . ."</em><br /> Lauren Baratz-Logsted, author of <em>Zombie Abbey</em></p><p>"Deliciously scary." Stacy Horn, author of <em>Damnation Island </em>and <em>Imperfect Harmony</em></p><p>"<em>The Shadows Behind</em> explores the uncanny, strange, and underlying darkness behind white picket fences.
