Sad Monsters

Sad Monsters

Author/Artist:  Frank Lesser
Rating:  5/5 stars
Reviewer:  Todd



Summary:
Monsters have it tough. Besides being deeply misunderstood, they suffer from very real problems: Mummies have body image issues, Godzilla is going through an existential crisis, and creatures from the black lagoon face discrimination from creatures from the white lagoon. At heart, these monsters are human; after all, you are what you eat. Quirkily illustrated, Sad Monsters hilariously documents the trials and tribulations of all the undead creatures monster-mad readers have grown to love, from vampires and werewolves, to chupacabras and sphinxes, and even claw-footed bathtubs.

Review:
For anyone with a macabre sense of humor this is a perfect find. This book has it all, from the werewolf whisperer to modern day witches have to watch what children they eat. It’s a wonderful read dealing with how these supernatural beasties would deal with real life problems if they were human. After all like the book says, you are what you eat.
