He doesn't think anything of it and he puts it on the shelf and that night, monsters show up. And nobody else can see them. He thinks he’s starting to go crazy, they follow him to his job, and on his dates... and it turns out these monsters are fears that he never dealt with as a kid... And each one of them represents a different kind of fear. As he conquers those fears, the guys who he slowly becomes kind of friends with, they disappear... It’s this bittersweet kind of ending where they go away, and so not much of that stayed.” This should be make into a horror movie
