“Author and illustrator Doug Cushman hams it up in this hog-wild homage to classic monster movies.”

The poems build and build on the horror of the renown ‘creature’ only to be dashed to pieces by the last 2 lines which are groaners.

Among the 17 creatures are: Frankenswine, The Mummy Pig, The Werehog, Porker From the Black Lagoon, Abominable Snow Pig , Pigzilla, and Pig Kong.

The piggy portraits are deliciously hammy.

Reminiscent of and dedicated to poet Jack Prelutsky.
