"...He'd say there was no such thing as monsters. There were ... But [we] had only seen the men."
The story has the capability of moving you if you approach it with the right mindset, or if you enjoy a book that runs a little off skew to the typical mystery novel.

Most of the story is told in metaphor, so very little is explicit. Fire and death are the most explicit.
