The Memory Maker

Imagine eating a dish that contained the magical capacity to create a memory into a reality.

This is what happened to Claudia after consuming Adrian's gourmet macaroni and cheese. Unfortunately, the memory she created was something so vile and abhorrently disgusting, one wonders if the enjoyment of the delicious meal was worth the outcome.

Claudia, recently having lost her family home in a fire, thinks her life is finally headed in a positive direction when she starts a new job at The Plentiful Pantry, a small, friendly takeout restaurant. It is here at the Pantry where she meets Adrian Jerry, chef extraordinaire and owner of the establishment.

Claudia's optimism is short-lived though when the memory that is triggered is that of a grotesque gurglio. Witness as she compulsively begins feeding leftovers to an ever-increasing number of gurglios that congregate each evening by the Pantry's greenhouse. Finally, Claudia admits to herself that this nightly feeding frenzy is out of control. Desperate, she contacts Julia Byerly to obtain poisonous oleander. In the meantime, she wrestles with the guilt that she is jeopardizing Adrian's well-being. How can she confess to Adrian, one of the kindest people she knows, that she has been luring the monsters by feeding them his leftovers?

This third and final book of The Grotesque Gurglios Trilogy, The Memory Maker, reveals yet another overwhelming challenge in attempts to annihilate these creatures. Perhaps this time, the beasts will be gone for good!
