Beowulf: A New Telling
He comes out of the darkness, moving in on his  victims in  deadly silence. When he leaves, a trail  of blood is all that remains.  He is a monster,  Grendel, and all who know of him live in fear.Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, knows something  must be done to stop  Grendel. But who will guard  the great hall he has built, where so many  men have  lost their lives to the monster while keeping  watch?Only  one man dares to stand up to  Grendel's fury --Beowulf.
