About this listen
TIME ONLY MAKES THE NIGHTMARE MORE REAL.
Something lives under Willa’s bed. As an adult, her fondest childhood memories are of the invisible entity under her bed who taught her how to read. Now thirty-two, Willa is a reclusive but successful painter until a bombshell news reporter exposes her identity as the controversial survivor of the unsolved Rapture Mystery Slayings, a small-town tragedy that splashed across headlines her senior year of high school. Six teenagers died in the woods while Willa walked free, and everyone thinks she did it.
As her past pulls her back to the place she swore she’d never return, Willa is drawn toward the monster she left behind—and the villain her hometown has always believed her to be.
Critic Reviews
"With its eerie premise and steadily intensifying dread, I Am the Monster Under the Bed culminates in a truly wild, horror-driven finale.

"Complex characters and a delicious mystery make this debut horror novel a spine-tingling delight." –Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Rockton Novels
“A wonderfully dark and creepy story about survivor's guilt, people who are turned into monsters, and some who just choose to be monsters. ” –Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author
"An atmospheric spiral of dread, I Am the Monster Under the Bed is smart, scary, and compulsively readable. If you're a fan of Riley Sager, Jason Rekulak, or Jennifer McMahon, you won't want to miss this one." –Scott Carson, nationally bestselling author of Departure 37
“Emily Zinnikas seamlessly weaves childhood horrors and a homecoming thriller into a stellar, truly memorable debut about the nature of monstrosity.

I loved it, and I can’t wait to see what she does next!” –Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and Carry Me to My Grave
"I Am the Monster Under the Bed is a disturbingly uncanny psychedelic voyage of a book. I read it on the edge of my seat with my heart in my throat—horrifying, enchanting, exquisite." –McCormick Templeman, author of Atlas of Unknowable Things
