Monsters of Ohio by John Scalzi
How could I resist a novel called Monsters of Ohio by John Scalzi, my favorite science fiction author? He had my heart in my throat in his opening, but I should have had faith in him. As you can see on the cover, it says, "People change." So do rabbits, cats, dogs,...
