In the twelve unforgettable tales of Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century , the strange is made familiar and the familiar strange, such that a girl growing wings on her legs feels like an ordinary rite of passage, while a bug-infested house becomes an impossible, Kafkaesque nightmare.

These visions of modern life wrestle with themes of death and technological consequence, guilt and sexuality, and unmask the contradictions tha ..
