Before Monsters Were Made by Ross Dungan

Before Monsters Were Made by Ross Dungan

You see, people forever say history is written by the victors. It’s not. It’s written by those who can shape the simplest narrative. David is a man struggling to hold together his marriage when the small town he lives in is rocked by the sudden, untimely death of a local girl. As details are uncovered, rumours and talk take hold of the town, and start to force David to revisit old memories. Set in 1960s Ireland, Before Monsters Were Made tells the story of how a few small words can have a very big impact. When suspicion and old stories start to spread like a virus, how well do we know the people we trust the most? Can we ever know what goes on inside other people’s lives? And do we really want to? Before Monsters Were Made is an unnerving and moving thriller about loyalty, lies and love.
