"A Monster Calls" er historien om den 13-årige Connor, der har været plaget af mareridt, lige siden hans mor blev syg. Så da et monster dukker op udenfor hans vindue, er han ikke bange. Monsteret kan nemlig slet ikke måle sig med uhyret fra hans mareridt. Monsteret i Connors baghave fortæller ham tre korte historier, men den kræver også noget uventet til gengæld: sandheden. "A Monster Calls" er en meget anderledes roman om sorg, følelser og dødens skræmmende skygge. Romanen er skrevet af Patrick Ness og illustreret af Jim Kay efter idé af forfatteren Siobhan Dowd, der døde af kræft, før hun nåede at skrive historien selv.
