"We filled up life with living, 
 with grins, scabbed knees, and noise. 
 In glass I see an older man, 
 but this book's for the boys." 
 These are the recollections of a boyhood in a small town, complete with all its monsters, fantastic and horrible, real and imagined, and everything in between. I'm always a sucker for horror + coming of age stories and this was no exception.
