Shirley Jackson Award Winner World Fantasy Award Winner Harrison was the Monster Detective, a storybook hero. Now he’s in his mid-thirties and spends most of his time popping pills and not sleeping. Stan became a minor celebrity after being partially eaten by cannibals. Barbara is haunted by unreadable messages carved upon her bones. Greta may or may not be a mass-murdering arsonist. Martin never takes off his sunglasses. Never. No one believes the extent of their horrific tales, not until they are sought out by psychotherapist Dr. Jan Sayer. What happens when these seemingly-insane outcasts form a support group? Together they must discover which monsters they face are within—and which are lurking in plain sight.

A therapist forms a support group for sole survivors of supernatural monster attacks (in a world where the existence of the supernatural isn't common knowledge). I would describe it as "jaded urban fantasy" more than horror, really.
An interesting premise that never got fully explored, leaving it feeling as though it's book one of a series instead of a stand alone. This isn’t me clamoring for a sequel, mind you, just pointing out how many plot threads were left hanging.
The plot is solid enough, and the characters were unlikable on purpose and distinct from one another, but the writing itself (meaning, the prose) leaft a lot to be desired, at least for me. Mainly, I disliked the endless head-hopping and shifts from third-person-singular to first-person-plural.
Neat! Not really horror, just a therapy group for people who have survived monstrous/supernatural horror. I would certainly read a sequel.
