Young Monsters By Christine Vartoughian

In a blue-collar town of 1990’s upstate New York, wistful seventeen year-old Corina runs away from home and takes refuge in an abandoned psychiatric hospital with her best friends Ramira and Ana. One night, the girls hear the sounds of an intruder and arm themselves, only to discover a delicate, mysterious young man that is so badly beaten he is barely conscious. When he wakes, Corina introduces this beguiling stranger- who goes only by the name of Robi- into her world. The two fall in love and, with Robi’s help, Corina’s dream of taking revenge on her abusive stepfather may soon become a reality.
