A Monster Was Born To Us

by Red Carma

Mary Katherine McHale is a certified registered nurse working at St. Elizabeth’s Senior Assisted Living Center. She felt she was called upon by God to do His work to end human suffering by way of her dreams.

During the course of her work her doctors diagnosed her with sleep paralysis, but Mary Katherine knew it was more to that. There was a secret she was harboring, stemming from her childhood that threatened her coveted position at St. Elizabeth’s.

After making a life-changing decision to open a residential care facility in her home Mary Katherine took in her first client, Donald Whitehead. She believed she was called to drive the sin and bitter evil that had built up over years of not having faith and dealing with the pains of life out of the old man.

When strange occurrences began, Mary Katherine found she was no longer in control of the situation which now put herself, her loved ones and patients at risk, with the end result possibly being deadly for all those involved.

When I first heard about this book, I had in mind that possibly a child had been born a serial killer but what lay written in the pages ahead of me was a story that would leave your brain thinking OMG what am I reading and how did that happen ? This was definitely one of those weird mindbeinding stories. The story starts with Dr. Mary Katherine McHale who works in an old people's home and is a widow. We learn that she has dark desires of killing through her dreams and that she has something down in her basement that makes growly noises , we start to wonder is she keeping a person down there or an animal ? Over the course of the book we also read as a few of the patients pass away and discover that they were euthanised by Dr. McHale as she has dreamed about their killing. This starts readers wondering whether she is the psychopath monster with the identity of a sweet little old lady who has been a nurse most of her life. In the second half of the novel, she leaves her job and opens her home up to senior care and has a few clients, one of them in particular - a grumpy man seems to be on the list for nearly getting killed. During this part , we start to wonder if the good ol' Doctor is manic bipolar with dark personality disorders and then slowly the dark hidden truth of the "Monster Born to Us" comes into light which we learn is a story that spans thirty years and it will tie in with what's hidden deep in the basement.
If you are wanting a dark suspense story with a psychological twist to it , then check out A Monster was Born to Us by Red Carma .
