Monsters are not the ones to fear.
Contemporary Monsters - Illustrated Short Story Collection Hardcover
In a dystopian society, a young couple makes a deal with a creature in the woods. A college student is unnerved by his new roommate's strange family. A woman finds a dead body, but no one else seems to care. A nice person walks into the forest to dig her own grave.
Melinda Rainn bends the borders of reality in these stories, where monsters are not the ones to fear.
Illustrated by Melinda Rainn and Adam Scythe, each short features a different monster, but tells a human story about loneliness, loss, family trauma, and that there's always someone out there, no matter how alone we feel.
