It comes at 12:07 each night, waking the boy. But it is not the monster Conor expects. This monster knows his fear, knows his nightmare. The monster comes wanting something from thirteen-year-old Conor who dreams the same nightmare night after night since his mother began her cancer treatments. What the moster wants is terrible, shuddering: he wants the truth– from Conor. The truth that could free him.
