In the twelve unforgettable tales of Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century, the strange is made familiar & 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.

Each story builds a new world all its own: a group of children steal a haunted doll; a runaway bride encounters a sea monster; a vendor sells toy boxes that seemingly control the passage of time; an insomniac is seduced by the Sandman. These visions of modern life wrestle with themes of death and technological consequence, guilt & sexuality, & unmask the contradictions that exist within all of us.

Mesmerizing, electric, & wholly original, Kim Fu's Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century blurs the boundaries of the real & fantastic, offering intricate & surprising insights into human nature.
