title: Monstrous Affections: An Anthology of Beastly Tales
author: Kelly Link
description: Gr 9 UpFind a dark corner, light a candle, and wrap yourself in a blanketthese are stories that beg to be read in the dark. Between these pages readers will find entries by literary greats as well as new authors. Some of these tales are moving, others terrifying, but they all have one thing in common: monsters. In Paolo Bacigalupi's "Moriabe's Children," a girl hears the kraken that drowned her father calling her to come to them. A disobedient teen discovers that interstellar space pirates are more monstrous than the creatures she's been taught to fear in the amusing "Ten Rules for Being an Intergalactic Smuggler (The Successful Kind)" by Holly Black. In "This Whole Demoning Thing" by Patrick Ness, a young demon discovers how to be true to herself through music. And "Left Foot, Right" by Nalo Hopkinson is an eerily touching story about one girl's crippling grief and the monsters that guide her through to the other side. From vampires to ghosts and from strange creatures made of mercury to half-harpies, these beasts will broaden readers' perspectives. Teens will never think about monsters in the same way again. Long after the last page is turned, these tales will linger in readers' brains, in their closets, under their beds, and in the shadows.Heather M. Campbell, formerly at Philip S.

  My mount turned on me.
  With no warning, no obvious sign that the powerful beast had broken its
  mental blocks, it threw me from its back to the dark, forest floor.
  A low growl rippled from it, low and fierce and the fi
