From the minds of Creator/GuillermoDelToro and Creator/DanielKraus comes a new illustrated novel about the fears that move in unseen places.
Jim Sturges is your typical teen in suburban San Bernardino - one with an embarrassingly overprotective dad, a best friend named "Tubby" who shares his hatred of all things torturous (like gym class), and a crush on a girl who doesn't know he exists. But everything changes for Jim when a 45-year old mystery resurfaces, threatening the lives of everyone in his seemingly sleepy town. Soon Jim has to team up with a band of unlikely (and some un-human) heroes to battle the monsters he never knew existed.
The book that inspired Creator/DreamWorksAnimation series ''WesternAnimation/{{Trollhunters}}''.

!!Tropes in this novel include:
* BodyHorror: Nullhullers are able to [[spoiler:vomit up virtually every one of their internal organs with the exception of their hearts]] to make themselves more nimble. When Jim tries to [[spoiler:take their gallbladders from the vomited entrails, all of their other organs come to life and try to attack him.]]
* CorruptPolitician: Blinky explains that changeling trolls like Nullhullers [[ChangelingTale replace real human babies with replicants]], who then grow up to be deviants, corrupt [=CEOs=] and politicians so that they could ''purposely'' ruin the world.
* FaceOnAMilkCarton: Back in 1967, so many children went missing in San Bernardio that the sheer number of them that appeared on milk cartons gave the incident the name "Milk Carton Epidemic".
