Description
My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book Two is the eagerly awaited conclusion to a critically acclaimed graphic novel. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of late '60s Chicago, the story follows Karen Reyes as she tries to solve the murder of her beloved and enigmatic upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg. As Karen delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers dark secrets and revelations that both resolve and deepen the story. The narrative is presented as Karen's graphic diary, weaving together a complex tapestry of interconnected stories and characters. The story takes a dramatic turn as Karen attends a protest in Grant Park and finds herself swept up in a police confrontation. Meanwhile, she continues to investigate Anka's recent death, discovering a final cassette tape that sheds light on Anka's heroic activities in Nazi Germany. Ferris's unique visual style seamlessly combines panel-to-panel storytelling with cartoon montages, filled with B-movie horror and pulp monster imagery. The result is a breathtakingly vivid and immersive reading experience that will keep you engaged until the very end.
