Books with title Mostly Monsters

1814: Mary Godwin, the 16-year-old daughter of radical socialist and feminist writers, runs away with a dangerously charming young poet—Percy Bysshe Shelley. From there, the two young lovers travel a Europe in the throes of revolutionary change, through high and low society, tragedy and passion, where they will be drawn into the orbit of the mad and bad Lord Byron. But Mary and Percy are not alone: they bring Jane, Mary's young step-sister. And she knows the biggest secrets of them all . . . Told from Mary and Jane's perspectives, Monsters is a novel about radical ideas, rule-breaking love, dangerous Romantics, and the creation of the greatest Gothic novel of them all: Frankenstein.

Three very silly stories in the best traditions of British humour. Meet a cast of cowards, dreamers, drunks, manipulators, incompetents, liars, and cheats. "CANNIBAL FIESTA" – Burnt-out filmmaker, Barry Tempest, is given one last chance to save his career. He must deliver a fly-on-the-wall documentary about the Smith family (who emigrated from the Amazon rainforest to England). How well has the family acclimatised to the British way of life? Witness the annual gathering of the Amazootoo clans and some unexpected revelations. "A PUBLIC INCONVENIENCE" – Scrimpton-on-Sea is a traditional south coast resort. The disappearance of the bowls team leads to the discovery that the town’s public convenience has caught a black hole. Wily Mayor Grimsdale convenes the hapless Emergency Response Committee in an effort to find the missing pensioners and destroy the cosmological menace. Local government at its very best. "THE PERVERTING OF SISTER MARY" – When disenfranchised Terry Martin is killed unexpectedly and awakes in Heaven, he is condemned to work in a joyless cubicle farm. After upsetting just about everyone, the mysterious Gloria suggests Terry should defect to the opposition. Terry soon finds himself in a bitter corporate battle between Heaven and Hell, and Sister Mary is the deal-breaker. Adult fiction with occasional strong language. Humorous depiction of cannibalism. Those with strong religious beliefs may be offended. Hypocrisy and double standards are challenged.

Tildy knew there were monsters. They sailed in from outside and hid behind the curtains. Moonlight brought them in. Tildy hated moonlight. Mom and Dad said there were no such things. Her aunt and uncle couldn't see them, and when Tildy wrote to her 23 cousins about monsters, only one wrote back saying she shouldn't eat spicy food before bedtime. Then a new boy came to school. Hendrik drew pages and pages of monsters when the class was writing numbers. He had a way of dealing with his monsters. When Tildy dares to stay over at Hendrik's house, she panics when the moon rises . . . but together they make the night safe, and Tildy can watch the moon sail through the starry sky.
