Monsters of Ohio is a heartfelt exploration of a tentacular solution to the struggles of the modern world from the New York Times bestselling author of Starter Villain
Welcome to Richland. It's about to get weird.
Richland, Ohio: A sleepy little town, home to the Bradson Foods processing plant and the annual Soybean Festival, nestled deep in the heart of Darke County. Except that the plant is about to close, the victim of corporate downsizing, and the festival is being rebranded in a desperate attempt to entice new visitors. It's a hometown on the brink.
20 years after his high school graduation, Mike Boyd has come back to Richland after his federal job got disappeared. He's not planning to stay. His plan is to regroup and rethink his life. But Richland has other plans for Mike, for his old friend Dave, and their new pal Andi. The three of them get caught up in a whirl that includes private equity, executive larceny... and whatever it is that has just happened to Jeremy Keller's prize cow.
Does it all connect? Yes it does. Just not in a way that Mike, Dave, Andi or anyone else could ever expect.
Leave your expectations behind. Bring a tarp.
