'“Mummy, I’m scared of MONSTERS!”

'Are you scared of monsters too?

'Is there a monster under your bed, a monster in your closet, or a monster in the corner of your ceiling? (Hang on, that’s just a spider …)

'Maybe the monster isn’t really a monster at all; it’s just misunderstood.

'Or maybe the monster is YOU.

'Prepare to be terrified, provoked, amazed and entertained by these 11 monstrous short comics for children by Karen Beilharz and some of Australia’s best independent comic creators.'

1 y separately published work icon Eternal Life Karen Beilharz , Paul Wong-Pan (illustrator), Australia : Hivemindedness Media , 2014-2015 11341665 2014 series - author graphic novel science fiction

'Late one night on a remote space station in the backwaters of the universe, a young woman named Bri meets a young man named Dan. Bri is passing through, fleeing from her past and looking forward to a kind of “holiday” from her life. Dan, a resident of the space station, is at a crossroads—torn between his dreams of a more fulfilling life spent helping others and his loyalty to his close-knit missionary family, who, due to the nature of space travel (where passengers do not age in transit while everyone else does), he may never see again should he choose to leave. When circumstances render Bri stranded, Dan’s family takes her in, and their different worlds and worldviews begin to collide. Bri must confront the past she fled from, while in turn, Dan must make a difficult choice about his future.'
