Taking the form of the fictional graphic diary of ten-year-old self-identifying "monster" Karen Reyes, and set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late '60s Chicago, My Favorite Thing Is Monsters has become a worldwide sensation since Book One announced Emil Ferris as one of fiction's world-class storytellers in 2017 and 2024's Book Two triumphantly concluded the epic graphic novel.
