### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Like a fusion of David Lynch, a pre-teen diary and a horror flick. Utterly mesmerising.
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 June 2017*

Imagine (if you can) someone taking David Lynch's "Blue Velvet", and gene-splicing it with the classic movie monsters of Universal Studios, the seedy underbelly of Chicago, and a pre-teen's gorgeous biro-pen-rendered journal.That's about the best summary I can come up with for "My Favourite Thing is Monsters" by Emil Ferris. Emil has constructed a story world like no other, written from the perspective of 10-year-old Karen Reyes, who is thrown into a deviously twisted mystery involving the murder of her upstairs neighbour.Karen's investigation leads her to the taped journals of Anka (her beautiful neighbour) and her harrowing past.This is one hugely thick and immensely satisfying book to get wrapped up in. Laid out against the backdrop of a foolscap-lined spiral bound journal, Emil's artwork will grab you by the throat and shake you. Exquisite ballpen drawings intermixed with garishly coloured (but again gorgeous) pulp horror comic book covers and scratchier pen drawings, if nothing else it's a visual feast (and I've become completely obsessed with drawing and mimicking this style myself in my own art).Beyond that though it's a gripping read as the story darts between Karen's observations of her dying mother, her louche brother and of course deeper digs into Anka's life.It took a bit of getting hold of this in the UK but you can find copies (I highly recommend Speedy Kitty as a reseller if you want a copy pronto in great condition btw). It's probably one of the best graphic novels I've ever read (and I've read a lot), and I'm overjoyed to hear a sequel is on the way. You need this in your life, simple as.

    Oh. My. Goodness. What a book!
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2019*

I am so in love with this book. I honestly feel as though the work that has gone into it deserves a higher price-tag.It's rare that I stare at the art work in a graphic novel, literally examining every pen-stroke. It's amazing.So the story is a bit clunky, the characters are a bit extreme, there is a 'Grave of the Fireflies' feel of, 'This can't get any worse, can it? Surely they're not going to make it worse? Can't I have a break for five minutes. Oh God, they're going to go there... Yep, they went there.' It's a bit much. And the book starts with one mystery, introduces at least two others, and only solves one of them. Or maybe solves it, because the solution is revealed in an art-infused vision.If that hasn't put you off, you will probably love this book as much as I did. Spiegelman, Bechdel, you have a new peer. Although appropriately (given the 60s setting), the graphic style made me think of Robert Crumb - ugly-beautiful.I could go on, and on, about the psychological depth, about the most shocking and beautiful image in the whole thing being a drawing of a girl's face in a mirror, about the intrusion of 60s politics in a little girl's tough, tough life, about the encroachment of the bad monsters, who hate the good monsters and how much a memoir about a distant childhood is now about America, TODAY.Just read it.

    OMG - monstrously good!
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2018*

A good decent story - it takes its time and it is not thrill a minute. You have to be patient. However you will be kept gripped by the artwork as it is outstanding. The layers and complexity is mind blowing and it is kept up throughout the entirety of this heavyweight book. I cannot wait for part two (which is on order)...!
