Praise for The Humanity of Monsters "The Humanity of Monsters doesn't just shine a light on our monstrous actions. It peels back the skin and digs greedy fingers into the whole bloody, twitching mess. Illuminating and transformative. One of the best anthologies I've read this year!"-Michael Kelly, Series Editor, Year's Best Weird Fiction
