A Monster Calls Inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd
Conor has a sick mum, a critical grandma, a school tormenter, and a very real monster that visits him. But none of these compare to his unspeakable nightmare. Black-and-white images that “use everything from beetles to breadboards to create interesting marks and textures.”
