Zemblanity
She is a living, breathing doorway for the monsters that enter this world through her pain. She thinks she’s using them, but she couldn’t be more wrong.
***
Allyson Alexander has always been a loner at heart, but not from lack of wanting. Whenever she cries, her tears burn anything they touch. When they hit the floor, shit hits the fan, and monsters come out of the woodwork to destroy whatever hurt her. She’s determined to make the world a better place by only crying around the people who deserve it.
All that changes, however, when the monsters start to show up unannounced. They feast unsupervised and leave her piles of teeth to let her know they were there. To make matters worse, their recklessness has attracted the unwanted attention of a man who claims to know what she's been up to. She thought the monsters knew the difference between right and wrong, but the body count keeps rising, and she’s running out of excuses.
Unless Allyson can learn to trust herself and the man who has been following her, the world as she knows it will come to an end as the monsters destroy everything she loves.

Beautifully written horror story
Visualizing some of the horrific scenes through sensitive and detailed writing defines this book. I could actually ‘see’ Allyson's thoughts. Yet, if you’ve got plenty of imagination expect those scenes to be amplified. The motifs of states of screaming, panic, and breath remained tight throughout the plot, keeping the story awake. The story’s narrative is all about overcoming challenges, struggling, facing death and horror, and finally earning inner strength and a road to recovery.
