''The Monster's Corner'' is a collection of tales that are told from the monster's perspective. It takes the idea that we are all the heroes of our own story and has a gloriously good time with it. Ranging from the thought-provoking to the strange, to the shocking and gory – they're a great selection of stories from the likes of [[:Category:Kelley Armstrong|Kelley Armstrong]], [[:Category:Kevin J Anderson|Kevin J. Anderson]], Sarah Pinborough and many others.
There are no vampire love stories here – Christopher Golden outlines in his foreword that there were only two monsters out of bounds: vampires and zombies. Probably declared off limits because of the dearth of zombie and vampire fiction available, the complete absence of them makes this a fabulously refreshing read. As a fan of mythical creatures and monsters, it's nice to see a few new and interesting ones get to spend some time in the limelight. Hopefully a few others will read this and remember that vampires, werewolves and zombies aren't the only badass monsters out there.
