Tall Animals

Matthew thinks he has it all figured out. His autism and his anxiety are triggered by metal. That's why he gets so stressed around people: the metal buildings cause it. At least that's what Dr. Frand told him. Until he vanishes without a trace. Now without his quirky doctor around, Matthew isn't sure what to believe. And his doctor isn't the only one missing. Family pets are vanishing in Math's small town. Mysterious people are appearing in the woods. Matthew's own dog could be their next target. Is Math losing his grip on reality? Or is something really afoot in the forests of Mississippi? Without his trusted doctor to guide him, Math alone must save the town's pets - and himself. TALL ANIMALS is a debut novel with strong notes of Southern Gothic. With the pacing of a character study and the intrigue of a psychological thriller, the novel presents a unique perspective on the world, colored by anxiety, isolation, and, perhaps paradoxically, enlightenment.
