Monster’s Corner: stories through inhuman eyes  

My thoughts cleaning off my bookshelf, I bring you my thoughts be for I take this book completely off my bookshelf.  I liked this book.  I discovered it after reading, ‘The Haunted Forest’, which I really liked last Summer while crocheting a Neapolitan ice cream themed cardigan

.  I liked, ‘The Haunted Forest’ so much that I looked up other books created by the same authors as that book and here is what I discovered, ‘Monster’ Corner: stories through inhuman eyes.  
It’s been a year since I read  however I do recall a few of the stories.  

*Monster’s Corner: Stories Through Inhuman Eyes* is an anthology of short stories edited by Christopher Golden. The book offers a unique twist on the horror genre by presenting tales from the perspective of the monster rather than the victim or hero. Each story explores the inner workings, motivations, and emotions of various creatures, making them more than just one-dimensional villains.

The anthology features contributions from well-known authors in the horror and fantasy genres, including Kelley Armstrong, David Liss, and Gary Braunbeck, among others. Each story brings a different type of monster to life, from vampires and werewolves to more unconventional and obscure creatures. The diversity in the types of monsters and their settings ensures that the reader remains engaged throughout.

One of the standout stories is **"The Awkward Age"** by David Liss, where a girl struggles with adolescence while dealing with her monstrous nature. This tale is particularly poignant as it blends the horrors of growing up with the literal horrors of being a monster. The emotional depth and psychological complexity make it a memorable entry in the collection.

Another notable story is **"Big Man"** by David Moody, which provides a unique take on the giant monster trope. Instead of focusing on the destruction caused by the creature, it delves into the loneliness and isolation of being an outcast, offering a surprisingly sympathetic portrayal of a being that would typically be seen as a threat.

While the anthology excels in giving monsters a voice and adding depth to their characters, it does have some unevenness in the quality of the stories. Some tales are more compelling and well-crafted than others, and a few might feel repetitive or lack the emotional impact that others manage to achieve. However, the overall concept and execution make *Monster’s Corner* a worthwhile read for fans of horror who are looking for something different from the usual monster fare.

In conclusion, *Monster’s Corner: Stories Through Inhuman Eyes* is an intriguing and entertaining anthology that succeeds in humanizing monsters and offering readers a fresh perspective on classic horror tropes. The stories range from chilling to emotionally resonant, making it a diverse collection that will appeal to anyone interested in exploring the monstrous side of human nature.
