Christopher Pike (author)

He has written a series of top selling books, including Scavenger Hunt, Whisper of Death, Chain Letter, Chain Letter 2: The Ancient Evil and Monster. He is also the author of a series of six vampire novels, beginning with The Last Vampire.

In Monster there was something in the water that turned teenagers into flesh-eating monsters. The teenagers would have flesh-eating parties, eating the non-monster members of the community. Although this may sound comical, many consider the story quite touching.
