Monsters of Ohio

Monsters of Ohio is a heartfelt exploration of hope in hard times – where townsfolk with tentacles could be the answer or herald the end of days. From the New York Times bestselling author of Starter Villain.

This is a tale of tentacles, hope amidst hardship and the (potential) end of the world.

From John Sclazi, the blockbuster author of The Kaiju Preservation Society, comes Monsters of Ohio – a thrilling speculative adventure with nine brains, eight arms and three big hearts.

Richland, Ohio is the same tiny, sleepy rural community it’s been for the last 150 years. But times are hard, as social and economic forces roil the once-placid town.

Now Richland, Ohio is primed to explode – just not in the way anyone expected. Because in Richland, the revolution doesn’t start with a protest. It starts with growing tentacles.

Mike Boyd left Richland decades ago, to find his own way in the world. But when he’s called back to his hometown to tie up loose ends, he finds more going on than he bargained for. He becomes caught up in a sequence of events that will bring this tiny farm village to the attention of the entire world . and, perhaps, spell its doom.
