16-year old Clayton Stonefly (retelling the story to his dog, Dammit) has no idea who he is -- his parents hid him in the Idaho wilderness and spoke in riddles about his past. When he is thrust on a journey to revenge his father's murder and name the monster that shadows his every move, he finds out much more than he ever wanted.
Clay just wants to be brave like Dammit, his dog, and face the town bully, Big Jim. That, or read Shakespeare on the porch alone in the Idaho wilderness. But Clay has an unfortunate gift: he's haunted by monstrous dreams of his family's dead nemesis, Das Ungeheuer, and every time he tells a story, someone dies.
Clay learns that his parents kept many secrets from him - not the least being there's a family calling that involves monster-wrangling, and a family axe with a mind of its own that may or may not be trying to talk to him.
For fans of Jones's Indian Lake Trilogy, Ellison's A Boy and His Dog and Shakespeare's Hamlet -- this literary Western Gothic builds a new mythos for the 21st Century on ancient folktales including Reynard the fox, Ysengrimus the wolf and Shakesbear. That's right, Shakesbear.
