This collection of poems sheds a whole new light and different spin on a collection of well known monsters. First, Frankenstein makes a sandwich out of all the rotten food the townspeople throw at him. There is a letter to Wolfman from his dog asking him to please not scratch on the front door or howl because the neighbors are starting to complain. The reader gets to witness the invisible man getting a haircut, see Count Dracula with spinach in his teeth, and learn about a young King Tut throwing a fit because he doesn’t want to go to his eternal rest without getting some milk and cookies. There’s Bigfoot being mistaken for a Yeti, a poem about the Hunchback of Notre Dame probably eating his lunch the same as everyone else, and a hilarious tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Henderson—who has everyone running away from him because he’s so dreadfully boring. There are dancing zombies, and Dracula’s tale of going to the dentist to get a filling in one of his fangs.
