Monsters in My Mind

Michael Conifer is quiet, anxious, observant, and almost never alone.

Rachel Kalopoulos is beautiful, guarded, lonely, and far less untouchable than she appears.

Inside Michael’s head lives Beel: a monster with charm and an answer for everything. Beel turns classrooms into arenas, glances into accusations, silence into proof, and desire into shame. He protects Michael. Michael says so himself.

Rachel has Estelle. Around them, parents, teachers, students, powerful men, wounded women, and ordinary people moving through ordinary days reveal private cognitions beneath what appears to be there.
