Growling on the Outside, Crying on the Inside: The Definitive Guide to Human-Monster Relations!
“In this collection of humour you will find monsters who are sad, misunderstood, discouraged, lonely, and in many cases demonised, particularly the demons. Because these monsters hunger for more than man-flesh; they hunger for love. Did you know that nearly half of all werewolf attacks start as misguided hugs?”
Sad Monsters explores the secret lives of all your favourite monsters from pop culture, literature, and right outside your bedroom window. A body-conscious mummy realises vertical linens would have been more slimming, a xenophobic Bigfoot wants to deport foreign chupacabras, and Godzilla whines that Son of Godzilla never calls anymore.
WARNING: Do Not read this book if you have recently experienced monster-related heartbreak, especially if that heartbreak involved a werewolf and could better be described as “heart gnaw”.
