Monster

As a child, my favourite book was The Monster at the End of This Book. It starred Golgo, a puppet monster from a popular children's television series.

The book starts off with Golgo reading the title. Golgo, he says to the reader that he doesn't want to reach the end of the book. He says he doesn't want to confront the monster. As the reader turns the pages, Golgo begs the reader to put the book down. When that fails he begins to put up obstacles to prevent the reader from turning the pages. He ties pages down. Erects brick walls. Of course none of it works and the pages keep turning, and the puppet monster, he gets more and more desperate. When the final page is turned, Golgo is confronted by no one. He is the only character at the end of the book.
