Donate today! https://lbbfound.org/ The Monsters We Made is an eerie and suspenseful exploration of one town's dark history and the people who brought it back to life. To save her family's struggling ranch, 18-year-old Claire fabricates a video of her hometown's legendary alien cryptid, Old Lucky, that grabs the attention of paranormal vloggers Lenny and Evan. Lenny is plagued with doubts about their channel's future, so catching Old Lucky might just be her chance at finding something real. Claire agrees to "help" Lenny uncover the history of Old Lucky--and preserve her deceit. But the more the girls are drawn together and the more clues they unearth, the more secrets rise to the surface. The cows are being mutilated, the ranch hand has disappeared, and the strange lights in the sky are back. Something inhuman lurks in Scarberry, where danger lives close to home. "As eerie and haunting as it is heartfelt, The Monsters We Made is a masterpiece. Equal parts queer, Midwestern Scooby-Doo, and coming-of-age tale of autonomy, it's a reminder that the world still has mysteries to solve if we're only curious enough to look. Peyton June's sharp, vivid prose will have you flipping pages to uncover the secrets of small-town Scarberry. I savored every last page." --Taylor Grothe, author of Hollow Peyton June is an author and illustrator from the Midwest. She writes about spooky small towns and the messy queer kids who survive them. When she's not creating, Peyton enjoys riding her fifty-year-old Schwinn bicycle, collecting antique photographs, and ghost hunting. She lives outside Seattle, Washington. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/st-louis/peyton-june-the-monsters-we-made/200030247405601 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, nonprofit, trips-adventures, kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 6 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: St. Louis - **state**: MO - **country**: United States - **location**: St. Louis Public Library - Schlafly Branch - **lat**: 38.643801348393 - **long**: -90.262017934069 - **full address**: St. Louis Public Library - Schlafly Branch, 225 No Euclid,St. Louis, Missouri, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Peyton June - The Monsters We Made - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/ec97fe321736426847eb8068b7d43f7bf32f71a9b2bbaf1cb8b92d471b9a5265-rimg-w1200-h675-dc8b5160-gmir?v=1783507759 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Peyton June - The Monsters We Made being held? - **A:** Peyton June - The Monsters We Made takes place on Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm to Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm at St. Louis Public Library - Schlafly Branch, 225 No Euclid,St. Louis, Missouri, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Peyton June - The Monsters We Made? - **A:** Peyton June - The Monsters We Made is organized by Left Bank Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
