Writer vs. Monster: A Collection of Stories and Observations

With an interplay of comedic wit and heartbreaking authenticity, these tales reveal vulnerable protagonists and neglected heroes alike. From golems to automatons, houseflies to politicians, we begin to question the very definition of a monster, even as we acknowledge the inner battles some must wage against their own murky natures"Harrison is an extraordinary writer, delivering a sensitive, funny, raw and precious collection that everyone should read." - Louise Beech, Guardian Readers' Choice Author"A true treasure-chest of an anthology, with bittersweet memories, quirky characters and quietly devastating moments of insight - generously seasoned with a dash of surreal humour from the heart of the Lockdown months. This is one to read from cover to cover, and then to go back to and choose pages at random to rediscover just how clever each piece is." - Cassandra Parkin, East Riding Poet Laureate
