Works featuring monsters and written by such masters of the genre as Mary Shelley, Ambrose Bierce, and Charles Dickens have been adapted for younger readers and are complemented by chilling illustrations.
Amazon.com Review
Frankenstein's Monster, the Jabberwocky, and a motley crew of various other spooks and freaks join together in Steven Zorn's Mostly Monsters. These classic and contemporary tales have been adapted by Zorn for a younger audience--but they do not lose any of their spine-tingling appeal in the process. Not all monsters are nasty--but the problem is, you never know who is bad and who is good until it's too late! Bright illustrations of large-teethed dragons, man-eating trees, and crazed robots make this a fun and imaginative read. (Ages 9-12) --Naomi Gesinger
