Real Monsters Are Not Afraid to Wear Pink!
Dracula looks on in horror at the monster's duck pouting on Instagram: teen vampires glistening in the sun with fabulous hair, werewolves with hipster beards....
He decides enough is enough. He will salvage the monster image with the monsters of old, and remind the world that they are so much more than fantasy objects for teenage girls.
Standing in Dracula’s way to world domination, are the children of his old enemies who have grown up, well, a bit snowflakey.
The Apocalypse is upon us.
Good versus evil.
Monster versus monster.
It is this Wednesday.
Bring a packed lunch.
Review
What happens when monsters start to be perceived as cuddly and nice? Count Dracula isn't happy and flies over to America to kill the loveable undead kids who started the trend following their parents being cursed.
What follows is an all out war between scary and not so scary monsters of every kind.
Written with a high level of humour, a deluge of bad language and plenty of adult only content this was at times laugh out loud funny and at others a head in hands groan-a-thon.
A fun novella with a narrator who throws himself into both the characters and the humour with abandon.
I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for a fair and honest review
The Author
Simon Carr is, well he is me, hello. I write comedy Sci-fi and horror books. I started writing in 2018. I am severely dyslexic, on the very high end of the scale. So, writing a book was just me being defiant really, doing something I ought never to have been capable of doing.
I really enjoyed writing my first book, Space And Stuff, so I carried on writing. That makes it sound a lot simpler than it was, but after a lot of learning and editing; so much editing! And going through proofreaders at a rate of knots, I got my books to a standard that only made a few grammar Nazis heads explode; so it will have to do.
I am from Blackburn in the UK, born in the summer of 1976. I have actually won three awards for my books, I know! I was as surprised as you are. If perfect grammar is your thing then you might want to give them a miss, but if you like satire and goofy scenarios I might be what you have been looking for.
