Mary’s Monster–poetry and appropriately haunting black and white art combine to create a biography of Mary Shelley that’s unforgettable. At first the text reads a little stiffly, not quite as moving as the evocative artwork–but as the book progresses the poems grow in strength.
Love, death, exile, longing, despair, creativity, beauty, horror–all gathered together in Lita Judge’s sensitive and powerful work.
