Sad Monsters Growling on the Outside Crying on the Inside Frank Lesser Willie Real 9780452297395 Books

The concept is brilliant in its simplicity: What if monsters more complex than we imagined (other than teen vampires waxing mopey)? What if that hairy hand reaches out from under the bed because the monster attached to it has abandonment issues?

Some of my favorite sad monsters:

The Joy of Unicorns, where the narrator makes it clear if you're not hanging with unicorns like the other virtuous maidens, there's a good chance you're a slut. "Good luck finding a husband!"

Diet Hansel, where the witch from Hansel & Gretel's diet of children fattened on her house of candy catches up with her. Time to start feeding Hansel veggies.

The Werewolf Whisperer, where chunks of the text are "text obscured by blood stains."

Whao Oh Here She Comes, where Hall & Oates' "Maneater" is a real monster.

Not only is Sad Monsters funny, it is excellent for bathroom reading. Each story is only 2-3 pages long. The downside, is my husband thinks I'm insane because I spent the last few weeks cackling in the bathroom.

Not every essay is a blue ribbon winner, some made me laugh out loud, some just made me smile, one or two I flipped through because I have the attention span of a two year-old, post-Easter basket buffet. But Sad Monsters definitely keeps the funny coming much more reliably than writers of similar fare who tend to beat a clever premise to death with cliche jokes.

So if you're looking for a funny book, built for today's short attention spans, Sad Monsters might just let you live long enough to read it.

Sad Monsters Growling on the Outside Crying on the Inside Frank Lesser Willie Real 9780452297395 Books Reviews

Awesome. Used in wedding.
This is a hilarious book! Even if you have no interest in monsters you will find it relatable. Monsters have problems just like the rest of us (only funnier through Frank Lesser's eyes). My favorite chapters are the personal ads and the mummy with body image issues.
This book is great! I actually laughed out loud at parts on the train. Great concept and delivery. Would like to see more.
How could sadness be so funny? Frank Lesser makes the plight of monsters humorous and entertaining. Excellent book and great writer.
This is a short read, but so hilarious and worth every penny. I passed it along to friends who also loved it. It's good-quality, smart-assed humor!
Funny - bought it for a friend.
Now you can see for yourself why the show is so great. This very funny book was written by a Colbert Report writer who toils by day in Stephen's notorious salt mines cranking out hysterical material for his demanding boss. Frank Lesser analyzes all the monsters in your closet and beats the DSM IV at it's own game explaining them in a very modern, funny and empathetic way. This book will really cheer you up if you're depressed like many monsters are. If you're not depressed it will make you feel for the monsters in an entirely new way. It has great illustrations too. Makes a much appreciated gift.
