Description

In this debut, which takes the type of a fictional graphic diary, a 10-year-old girl tries to resolve a murder.

Set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late ’60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is the fictitious graphic diary of 10-year-old Karen Reyes, stuffed with B-movie horror and pulp monster magazines iconography. Karen Reyes tries to resolve the murder of her enigmatic upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg, a holocaust survivor, even as the interconnected stories of the ones round her unfold. When Karen’s investigation takes us back to Anka’s life in Nazi Germany, the reader discovers how the private, the political, the past, and the prevailing converge. Full-color illustrations all over.
