TRAUMA OR, MONSTERS ALL

TRAUMA or, Monsters All is the story of Cassandra who comes to the small Upstate town of Talbot Falls to write a book on George Washington Carver while working a day job at the library with her new local friend, Agnes. Their lives change when Cassandra writes an article for the local paper exposing the dark history of the town: are there monsters among them? Speculation bubbles into conflict as a werewolf, a vampire and a Frankenstein creation emerge into the light and reveal deep suppressed trauma in the inhabitants of the town. Fessenden blends social commentary with archetypes of horror into a reflection of our times through a gothic lens.
