The Boy Who Drew Monsters by Keith Donohue


It's a chilling story about a boy named Jack Peter whose drawings of monsters came to life. These creatures not only haunt him but also starts to terrify his family and his best friend, Nick. An "accident" involving him and his friend Nick has caused him to develop a disorder that was later diagnosed as Asperger's syndrome. This is when the frantic drawing of monsters start . What started as a drawing "phase" eventually develops into a more malevolent exercise. I did not like the ending but just like "Pan's Labyrinth" it was necessary in order to explain the bizarre happenings and make the story more effective in creating an impact on the reader.
