What Makes This Story Special
Ever wonder what bedtime really looks like from under the bed? This delightfully twisted tale flips everything you think you know about nighttime fears. While most monster stories focus on children being afraid of what’s lurking in the shadows, The Monster Above the Bed dares to ask: What if the monsters are just as scared of us?
Perfect for Families Who Want More
In a world of 30-second picture books, this story offers something different—a rich, engaging narrative that actually lasts through bedtime. At over 1,300 words, it’s designed for families who believe children deserve substantial stories that feed their souls and spark their imaginations.
This isn’t just entertainment; it’s an extended storytelling experience that grows with your child, offering new discoveries with each reading.
Why This Book Matters
Teaching Empathy Through Story: Fred’s journey from fear to understanding mirrors the challenges we all face when encountering someone different from ourselves. Children learn that assumptions can be wrong and that enemies might just be friends we haven’t met yet.
Addressing Real Bedtime Fears: Instead of dismissing children’s nighttime anxieties, this story validates their feelings while gently shifting perspective. It opens conversations about fear, understanding, and the courage to see situations from someone else’s point of view.
Building Attention Spans: While the publishing industry rushes toward shorter formats, this story trusts children’s ability to engage with deeper, more complex narratives—the kind that build patience, focus, and love for literature.

The Story Behind the Story
The Monster Above the Bed was born from deeply personal experiences with monsters—both real and imagined.
When I was ten years old, my Uncle Larry took me to see the movie Carrie starring Sissy Spacek. That horror film was completely inappropriate for a child, and to this day, I still check under the bed for monsters before going to sleep. Thanks a lot, Uncle Larry.
But the real monsters in my life weren’t hiding under furniture—they were the voices that tried to diminish my dreams. After my mixed media artwork was recognized as the Congressional Arts Competition Winner for New York State and hung in the halls of Congress for over a year (the proudest accomplishment of my young life), someone asked with a dismissive tone: “So you think you’re an artist, now?”
Due to those stinging words, I never drew or painted again.
A year later, when my poem was published in a collection for the Library of Congress—another moment I should have cherished—that same voice asked: “So you think you’re a poet, now?”
Due to those stinging words, I never wrote another poem again.
But those same words that silenced my art and poetry became the fire that ignited my passion for storytelling—proving that sometimes our greatest wounds become our greatest strengths.
Because those words became the catalyst that led me to write stories to inspire, give hope, spark imagination, and feed the reader’s soul—a mission that ultimately led to my becoming a Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author who has written or co-authored sixteen books.
The deeper truth this story teaches: Sometimes a monster isn’t a monster at all. Other times, we can’t stop the monsters that appear in our lives. However, we can always—always—always—choose how we respond to them.
From the Author
“While the industry moves toward shorter attention spans, I believe children are capable of deeper engagement when given stories worth their time. The Monster Above the Bed challenges the assumption that picture books must be brief to be effective.” – J. W. Zarek, Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author

Literary Titan Five-Star Editorial Review
The brilliance of this tale lies in its inversion of perspective. Monsters are usually the source of nighttime dread, but here they are the ones unsettled by the “noisy human” above them. Billy, the new boy in the bedroom, becomes the unintentional menace with his stomping feet, bouncing mattress, and messy playtime chaos. This role reversal not only delivers humor but also provides an accessible way for children to confront their own fears. What if the things that scare us are just as frightened of us?
Each dust bunny has a distinct personality that adds charm and comic relief: Brutus, the brave leader; Gunnar, the jittery bundle of nerves; and Ted, the compulsive cleaner. Their antics make the narrative lighthearted and fun, while the underlying theme of learning to understand “the other” lends depth. One scene in particular that made me laugh was when Brutus says there are “booby traps everywhere” because he keeps tripping on Billy’s toys under the bed. Another memorable moment is when the monsters panic, convinced they are under attack by Billy’s red crayon. The illustrations are well done and bring the characters to life with so much to look at, offering young readers a chance to discover new details on every page.
At its core, the story is about more than just monsters and messy bedrooms. It’s about bridging differences, finding common ground, and recognizing that sometimes our fears are misplaced. The resolution, where Fred and his friends must decide whether to make peace or go to “war,” beautifully reinforces the values of empathy, friendship, and compromise.
The Stomp-Clomp-Clump Monster Above the Bed is a delightful, twist-filled read that offers both entertainment and gentle life lessons. With its witty premise, laugh-out-loud moments, engaging illustrations, and warm message, it’s a perfect bedtime story for children who wrestle with their own nighttime fears. It reminds readers of all ages that sometimes, monsters aren’t monsters at all, they’re just friends waiting to be found. – Literary Titan Reviews

This story made both my kids and me giggle. The dust bunny crew had such distinct personalities that we each picked a favorite character. I liked how J.W. Zarek mixed humor with heart, showing that even monsters and kids can learn to get along. The illustrations were lively and helped bring the noisy chaos to life. It’s definitely earned a place in our bedtime rotation.- SM Harrison (Kindle Verified Purchase)
