Vincent sets about creating a "hairy, seven-foot-tall blue monster" sketched out by nine-year-old Edgar before he disappeared. The character, named Eric, becomes Vincent's "lifeline" throughout the ordeal, "materialising with three-dimensional vividness". "Eric" is a "strange beast in more ways than one, by turns fascinating, baffling and ludicrous".
