Because growing up can sometimes be a little monstrous…

A Mess of Monsters explores cryptid myths across the United States, from West Virginia’s Mothman to the Southwest’s jackalope. No matter the location or featured cryptid, the young protagonists grapple with issues that are very much steeped in reality: family dynamics, houselessness, ostracization, toxic masculinity, fitting in, responsibility, friendship issues, and the power of story.
