The Monster Who Ate Darkness

(3) PS Illustrated by Jimmy Liao. Jo-Jo's fear of what's under the bed is well founded. A hungry monster who lives there sucks the dark out of everything until there's no darkness left, creating confusion (owls oversleep, bats hang right-side up, etc.). The imaginative art keeps up with an inventive story that just gets more and more surreal as it goes along.
