Pretty Monsters: Stories

(3) YA Illustrated by Shaun Tan. This book includes nine vividly wrought short stories (all but one previously published). Each features characters wrestling with issues of recognition--of a dead girlfriend, a goddess, a wizard. The most provocative ask readers who the monsters really are in genre-busting takes on the campfire tale, romance, and werewolf myth. Tan's black-and-white chapter opener illustrations help set the eerie mood.
