Overview

"Being a monster isn't just about frightening villagers and sucking blood. Monsters have their trials, too. Poor Frankenstein's cupboard is bare, Wolfman is in need of some household help, and it's best not to get started on Dracula's hygiene issues. What could be scarier? These nineteen hilarious poems delve into the secret lives of the Creature from the ""Black Lagoon"", ""Bigfoot"", ""Godzilla"", and others."
