The Faceless One by Mark Onspaugh
This fantasy horror book was quick to read and kept my attention throughout. While it was scary, it did not make me afraid to read it.
The story is based on a legend of Native Americans who used to live in Alaska. One elderly man, Jimmy, who now lives in a nursing home in California remembers how to defeat the monster who was freed by archaeologists. Jimmy needs to save a four-year-old boy from the Faceless One. He is helped in solving the mystery of how to defeat the Faceless One by his friend from the nursing home, the boys parents, and a New York City policeman. I became invested in the characters and even as I was near the end of the book wanted all of them to have a happy ending.
