Initially Kate fears that Christopher, like his father who committed suicide, also suffers from schizophrenia, but when the whole town rapidly descends into violent madness it’s clear a different evil is looming. Here the boy is hailed as the saviour of the world and has to lead the fight against evil and two merging worlds.Īll Christopher’s mother wants to do is protect her child and settle down in Millgrove, but shortly after Christopher’s return from the woods, strange things start happening in the town. Much like The Perks of being a Wallflower, Imaginary Friend has elements of a coming –of –age story, but that’s where the similarity ends. Even though he seems unharmed his dyslexia has disappeared and all of a sudden he is manically intelligent. One day, spurred on by a tempting cloud and the whispering wind, Christopher Reese wanders into the woods, disappears and only returns to civilisation six days later. Imaginary Friend is not solely a run –of –the –mill horror story, it’s about the battle of good against evil, as well as a nightmarish reminder of the wickedness of human nature.
