Monster
MonsterMeet Monster. Meet Judy. Two humans who don’t like each other much, but together must fight dragons, fire-breathing felines, trolls, Inuit walrus dogs, and a crazy cat lady – for the future of the universe.
Monster runs a pest control agency. He’s overworked and has domestic troubles – like having the girlfriend from hell.
Judy works the night shift at the local Food Plus Mart. Not the most glamorous life, but Judy is happy. No one bothers her and if she has to spell things out for the night-manager every now and again, so be it.
But when Judy finds a Yeti in the freezer aisle eating all the Rocky Road, her life collides with Monster’s in a rather alarming fashion. Because Monster doesn’t catch raccoons; he catches the things that go bump in the night. Things like ogres, trolls, and dragons.
Oh, and his girlfriend from Hell? She actually is from Hell.

I loved it. The characters are actually more than two dimensional, while still having a whimsy to them that is very enjoyable.
Based on this book and Gil’s All Fright Diner, I have now purchased every book you’ve published and will read them within the week.
Thanks for creating something awesome!

Much like afro above me I picked up a copy of “Monster” and I am now hooked on your books.I first heard of your books on http://www.io9.com where “monster” was on a suggested reading list and I am glad that I went to the library and checked it out that same day. I hope “monster” gets picked up to be a movie!!! Thanks for putting out such great work, I love how your words paint a picture of the scene second by second !
