Read this Kindle, but enjoyed it enough that I might have to get a hard copy. Reads like a field journal with occasional very short stories. Lots of literary references, all credited in the back. Exploring the nature of monsters without and within. The last monster portrait is revealing. The illustrations are very well executed, though at times a bit derivative, like if Brom did tattoos.

A brother and sister book project. It makes me wonder which came first, the artwork or the writing?
Both are complex and beautiful.

More meditations than stories.

While I really wanted to like this I just couldn't get over how pretentious the writer was. He would swing back from writing something that sounded beautiful to just masturbatory in nature. The art is great and the stories have promise but the writing lost me.

Extreme Book Nerd Challenge 2022.
Challenge Topic: Nonfiction 000s (001 - 099)
This book was very confusing to say the least. There were times when the writing seemed to be all over the place and didn't flow together or make sense. The only think I really got from the book is that Humans can and most likely are the real monsters.
