Teratozoology 101 — Gregory Ashe

When lonely adjunct professor Nick moves from New York to a small, Midwestern town, he's trying to escape: bad relationships, bad dreams, and the city's monsters. He finds, though, that small towns have their own monsters. Real monsters.

And when Nick's handsome young student Will is stalked by one of these monsters, Nick must draw on skills he learned as a child--skills he had hoped he would never have to use again--to save Will. As the monster comes closer and closer, Nick's chances of saving his student dwindle. Will Nick be able to save his student in time--and, perhaps, save himself as well?
