What are the intimate dreams of monsters? Few people know, for monsters are discreet beings, lurking in the shadows. This diary gives an exclusive insight into the life of a terrible beast: He evokes his life on the edge of the marsh, his gastronomic pleasures (stir-fried worms and mosquitoes!), and surprising details of his anatomy!



"Dear Diary, it's me

the monster in the lake,

I'm evil, I'm yucky

and I'm scarier than a snake."



Sprinkled with references to classic fairy tales, the Dear Diary series offers privileged access to the secret aspirations of mythical and often not-so-nice characters. Short rhythmic texts reveal the private and very funny musings of an ogre, a monster, a witch and a fairy.
