Evil comes in many forms, some seen and some not. The Cuqui (koo-KOO-ee) monster of Mexican folklore had always been the thing of children's nightmares, that dark shadow creeping from under the bed in the wee hours of the night. But now it is real, it is alive, and it is killing everything in its path. Only Bumpy Sheffield has seen it and lived to tell. But the DEA deep cover agent has a history of leaving his reality checked at the door, so the authorities will not believe him. Determined to stop the killing, he begins hunting the thing that is already hunting him. But the Cuqui is far better at the game than he... From the acclaimed author of In The Way That Elephants Do and Undercover White Trash comes a high-energy assault to the senses, a story of international drug running and supernatural horror. Certainly not for the squeamish or faint-of-heart, this is a novel you will not want to read alone. From the book's Foreword: "--a modern-day version of a 1950's B-movie Creature Feature, just a fun, scary story full of action, laughs, and lots of gore. So grab some popcorn and your favorite snuggling sweetie, and enjoy!"
