This witty, wicked collection of sixteen poems, including the title verse, explores the exploits of sundry monsters and creeps, such as a werewolf who sends get-well flowers to his victim or a hungry mummy who can't eat for all his bandages. Rash's clever spins on familiar characters are well matched by the offbeat humor and style of his bold gouache and India ink illustrations.
