daniel got ahold of it, and it was also shown later. i think i missed something about it. what is its relation to the creature/what happened?
"It doesnt matter what Bram Stoker has told you... dead people don't come back from their graves"
Its my understanding the children's book was something the monster thing liked or it was related to what was going on in story regarding the missing people and pets. When the husband of the pregnant girl came back, he mentioned it to his sister-in-law.
shareso, my guess is that they leave it to us to interprete, right?
i thought the book was a direct reference to something.

Three Billy Goats Gruff...
The story introduces three male goats, sometimes identified in the story as youngster, father and grandfather, but more often described as brothers. There is no grass left for them to eat near to where they live, so they must cross a river to get to a "sæter" (a meadow) or hillside on the other side of a stream in order to eat and get fat. To do so, they must first cross a bridge, under which lives a fearsome troll who eats anyone who passes that way.
The smallest billy goat is the first to cross and is stopped abruptly, by the troll who threatens to "gobble him up!" The little goat convinces him to wait for another slightly bigger billy goat to come across because he is larger and a more gratifying feast. The greedy troll agrees and lets the smallest of the goats cross. The medium-sized goat then passes next. He is more cautious than his brother, but is also stopped by the troll and given the same threat. The second billy goat is allowed to cross as well after he tells the troll to wait for the biggest billy goat because he is the biggest.
The Third Billy Goat then gets on the Bridge and is stopped by the hungry Troll. When the troll gets up on the bridge however, the third billy goat is so big that he easily kicks the troll off of the bridge. The troll falls into the stream with his horns upside down. From then on the bridge is safe, and all three goats are able to go to the rich fields around the summer farm in the hills. They all live happily ever after. The troll still lives under the bridge but is never seen or heard of.
Yo, she-bitch! Let's go!
My thought was that under the bridge in the book reminded the husband of the tunnel he had been forced in for the 7 years.
*beep* it, cut'em up!

It's the Three Billy Goats Gruff. It's a fairy tail about three goats dealing with a troll. The significance is that this movie deals with a troll.

Callie researches the history of the area and finds that numerous people and things have gone missing in the vicinity of the tunnel. She also finds that before the highway and tunnel were built there was a natural sinkhole with a bridge over it on that spot, and people went missing back then too. She also mentions numerous creatures from folklore that match the pattern of behaviour the creature follows, including Scandinavian trolls.
So basically, The Three Billy Goats Gruff - a story about a troll under a bridge who tries to waylay travelers, but can be talked into trading one victim for another - becomes a metaphor for the thing in the tunnel. Daniel understands this before Callie does, when he looks at the picture of the troll in the children's book and says, "It doesn't look like that."
^^ This, it's a children's book about a troll who trades lives.
