|summary=Monsters – are they around us courtesy of folklore, or our expectations, or are they entirely personal? An unusual question to be raised by an unusual and interesting graphic novel.

''Monsters are all around us'', we are told, and Fran should know. She opens each chapter of her episodic story here with a new monster – a golem, an incubus, or perhaps something less well known. But there are subtly monstrous events in her life as well – an alleged boyfriend with a measly attitude, a fake medium, a summer of retaking GCSEs, and more – as well as the biggest, blackest, visitation – something that should bring succour, family and friendship but cannot be handled.

Whether you missed the fuss raised by [[Days of the Bagnold Summer by Joff Winterhart]] being nominated for major literature awards in 2012 or not, it is still worth investigation
