monsters

I have a guest post over at the Barnes and Noble Reads blog on the subject of monsters.

“I love monsters.

But what makes a good one? For me the definition is it’s a category error. Something that, no matter how hard you try, won’t conform to the boxes that make up your mind (well, my mind anyway). The creature in Frankenstein is a classic example. It lives but is stitched together from bits of dead things.”
