Building A Better Monster" explores the creation of the modern age's most recent monster myth: The Chupacabra. This novella imagines what would occur if enough people collectively began to believe in something, would it make it true? From the early stages of its beginning as a grass roots folktale, "Building A Better Monster" follows the spread of the rumor of the Chupacabra, the goat-sucker, blamed for slaughter of countless animals through Mexico and the American South-west. In 1996 the Chupacabra scare ravaged all of Mexico. The 'goat-sucker' was claimed to be responsible for everything from any live stock death, even to human murders. It was all based upon a hoax, until people started to believe. The title novella of this collection examines what happens when that belief becomes strong enough to make the creature real... Also included are the stories "Cat's Eye," "Two Is Not Enough," "Fearstricken," "In the Heart of the Forest," "What Price To Be A God," "Skin Walker, or The Embrace Of Blood," "After The Fall," and "When Angels Weep." These short stories were published in print and online between 2003 and 2004 at web sites such as Horrorfind.com, Night Shopping, and The Swamp. Also featured are the rare first stories read on the Sonoma State University Radio program "Wings of Desire" in 1992, prior to the publication of Treagus' debut novel, "The Hunting Sorrow" in 1995.
