Why read it?
1 author picked Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In my book I frequently draw upon monsters in fiction to understand our complicated relationship with both our own messy, unpredictable embodied minds and the uncertain, often-terrifying world that we operate these embodied minds within.
This haunting book of short stories is a great example of grappling with the complexities of our lives through a monstrous lens in order to better understand the human condition.
From Sarah's list on help us face our monsters and embrace mental health.
