MOMO
In the wake of his father’s death, Mark Taylor thinks he and his son, Evan need some quality time together. He is certain that a weekend at the family cabin in the Missouri woodland presents the perfect opportunity and will strengthen their bond. But as darkness falls, their stay becomes a terrifying fight for survival against a savage night creature straight out of the annals of cryptozoology, with little more than faith, desperate courage and a single cabin door providing their only means of defense.
With Mark badly injured, dawn too far away, their generator running out of power, and no means of calling for help, they are ultimately left with a single heart-rending option that might let one of them survive to see another day.
This was a fantastic novella! I have never heard of a Inspirational thriller before and I was a little apprehensive about reading it. Mostly because I felt like it was going to be too preachy and I’m just not into books like that. They usually feel like they try to hard to be inspirational. This book however did not come off as preachy at all! In fact I highlighted a few of the sentences to keep for myself because they were great.

Pffft. “Momo” is just way too kawaii of a name to inspire fear. Momo is the cute flying lemur from ATLA. It means “peach” in Japanese. That is not a scary word.
Though that cover does remind me of the special chimera from Fullmetal Alchemist, and that puts the subliminal screaming in the phrase “Let’s go play.”
This title intrigued me, yet I must confess last night I found myself making little chirrupy Momo (Dee Bradley Baker) sound effects.
The term/name/abbreviation Momo has been used in many other ways, though, at least according to Wikipedia. One of those is for a rare genetic disease called MOMO syndrome.
I gather from the Wiki that this particular Momo is the “Missouri Monster,” AKA a Bigfoot knockoff. But all the same, the Nina chimera has been evoked, and the Nina chimera blows any competition for horror-inducement straight out of the water.
