Sad Monsters

Meer over het boek

"In this book you will find monsters who are sad, misunderstood, discouraged, lonely, and in many cases demonized, particularly the demons. Perhaps someday you will realize that inside each of them is a human, or at least parts of one. Because these monsters hunger for more than man-flesh; they hunger for love." Exploring the secret lives of monsters from literature and popular culture Frank Lesser presents Godzilla facing an existential crisis, a yeti longing to work for Vogue magazine while Hansel and Gretel's witch complains about her new no-child diet. Sad Monsters catalogues the mood swings, short-comings and neuroses of ghouls, goblins and unicorns, among others. The quirky illustrations of Willie Real capture the angst of being a monster in a world that doesn't understand you.
