What Will Happen When You Die?

Authors note: As you read this you might feel a sudden rush of air tremble down the back of your neck. You will realize that what I wrote about is fantastically entertaining. If you could write a book what would it be about?

Have you ever seen a horror film when a girl is walking into creepy scene and you think in your mind, “Do NOT go in there!” ,but she does anyway, and the next thing you know, you’re on the edge of your seat waiting for more? Well, the book Everwild is like one of those movies, except put in words. "Everwild" has skin-jackers, ecto-rippers, and don’t forget the big, bad horrendous monsters.

Imagine yourself in the backseat of a car just sitting there, in a day dream. Then all of a sudden you are flung out of the car at full speed. Sooner then you know it, you are so far away from your family and traveling through a tunnel towards the light at full speed. You end up in a magical, magnificent world but find out you are dead. This relates to the real world because this book takes place on Earth but there are specific spots where afterlights,can not be or they will sink into the middle of the Earth and never escape. In real life you would go to heaven, depending on your religion, as a child and not stay on Earth until it is your time to leave.

When you think that is creepy wait until you here about the McGill and the Chocolate Monster!If you’ve ever read the book you would know the McGill isn’t like your average monster he is more like your worst nightmare but even more terrifying.The McGill’s real name is Mikey and he is just another afterlight, children who die and there spirit ends up in Everlost, like Allie, Nick and Mary his sister. When you get him too aggravated he starts transforming into a hideous ugly beast. On the other hand there is the chocolate monster ,also know as Nick, Allie’s best friend, he is not as monstrous as Mikey. The Chocolate Monster helps afterlights to get where they are going. These characters remind me of the real world and when I was littler I was scared of monsters. I was scared because when I thought of monsters I thought they would eat you or come out of your closet like the movie Monsters Inc. Well if you thought those monsters underneath your bed were scary well the ones in the book Everwild will make you want to hide in your bathroom.

Then just as you run into your bathroom someone skin-jacks you. You might ask what is skin-jacking? Well skinjacking is a talent only some afterlights have. For example, one of the main characters, Allie. Skin-jackers can go into a human’s body which is also called high jacking. Just like how you can high-jack a car, steal it and drive without the keys to start it. Allie doesn’t know the real truth about being a skin-jacker, those who skin-jack aren’t really dead.

"Everwild" is a thriller with different monsters such as, skin-jackers, and ecto-rippers. It has many twists and turns, sometimes you don’t know what is going to happen next. If you are reading this BEWARE you might want to check under your bed tonight. The mysterious monsters are lurking around waiting for you to end up in their grasp. Remember you will either get where you’re going or be trapped forever.
