About this listen

In the shadows of a small, unsuspecting town, terror takes on a new name—Monster John.

By day, John appears as a quiet, unassuming man, the kind no one would ever suspect. But beneath his calm exterior lies something far darker—a fractured mind tormented by memories of blood and betrayal. As a child, John witnessed an unspeakable horror: his own father brutally murdering his mother, grandmother, and aunt. The trauma shattered his psyche, giving birth to another self—a remorseless predator driven by rage and the echoes of the past.

Now, years later, that buried monster has awakened. Young couples are being found slaughtered in gruesome scenes across town, each killing more savage than the last. The media calls him “Monster John,” unaware that the name hides a chilling truth—it’s not just a nickname, it’s who he’s become.

When one intended pair of victims narrowly escapes his attack, they provide detectives with the first real lead. What follows is a harrowing manhunt that leads the police deep into a desolate, fog-choked ravine, where the line between hunter and hunted blurs. The final confrontation ends with Monster John plunging off a cliff into the darkness below.

But when investigators search for the body, they find nothing—no trace of blood, no sign of death.

And somewhere, perhaps in the still of the night, a whisper remains…

Monster John isn’t gone. He’s waiting.
