Reseña del editor:

Summer. 1989. The age of innocence. Two terrified boys grow up fast in a Perfect Town where a voracious and insatiable Monster grows huge in a derelict factory... out where sidewalks end, and no one knows where you are.... Will-Fred is neglected. Elmo has asthma. Peers hate them. How could they convince either parents or town elders of the bloodcurdling danger? But then, they discover the most chilling menace is much closer than their worst nightmares and they need to take out the Monster anyway they can.....

Reseña del editor:

What Will-Fred, 11, not the coolest kid in school, lacks in size or status, he makes up for with outlandish dreams and loopy expectations. When his family moves to 'Perfect Town', hope renews eternal he'll make fast buddies among the school's uber-cool. Yet, with self-involved parents ignoring him at best, and spoiled baby brother Danno, Will-Fred relies on Comic Superheroes for friendship, even guidance, until he and wheezy overprotected Elmo stumble on a horrific Monster in a derelict Factory at the far edge of town. SlugThing, ripening, insatiably feeding on ecological sludge from The Factory’s many metamorphosis for over a century, lacks self-awareness, until fixating on young Danno. Stalking the three boys home, SlugThing forms a new colony in Will-Fred and Danno’s basement. Will-Fred fears not only Danno, but the entire town is doomed. When the try to warn them, everyone laughs, even their own parents. Only an odd bum - a Viet Nam vet with nightmares of his own, takes them seriously. It is down to Will-Fred and Elmo to concoct an 'equalizer' to destroy SlugThing. The plan backfires with horrendous results and the boys learn their enemy is much, much closer, and scarier than Will-Fred’s worst nightmares....
