Once upon a time, the monsters won. Bestselling horror writer Damian Malachi is a loving husband and devoted father, but he harbors a terrifying secret. As a child, Damian vanished for two days, returning changed-marked by an unspeakable experience. He was stolen away to Sanctuary, a nightmarish alternate Earth where the monsters of fiction are horrifyingly real, and humanity has been exterminated. In Sanctuary, young Damian unearthed a dark power that bound him to the terrifying essence of Frankenstein's Monster, the savage Werewolf, the feral Fish-Man, the enigmatic Mummy, and the tyrannical Dracula. Under the tutelage of the poetic yet repentant Igor, the stoic Romani and the undead Van Helsing, Damian was forged into the Monster Man- the monsters' greatest nemesis - a formidable chimera of all their abilities. Now, two decades later, with children mysteriously disappearing and his own family in grave danger, Damian must confront his past. He must return to the horrific realm that once claimed him, risking everything to save innocent lives from the darkness that threatens to consume them. In a thrilling, dark, and exhilarating tale, Damian Malachi's journey back to Sanctuary will test the limits of his courage, his powers, and his very humanity.
