Summary: Thirteen-year-old Conor is visited by a monstrous creature at seven minutes past midnight. Unlike the nightmare monster haunting him since his mother's illness, this one is ancient and wild. It demands something terrifying: the truth. As Conor grapples with his fears and the reality of his mother's condition, he must uncover what the monster truly wants. Will he face the truth, or will the monster's demands consume him? This haunting tale weaves mischief, loss, and the blurred lines between reality and imagination, challenging Conor to confront his deepest fears.
