Hopeful Monsters — Jenny Ashford

A group of freakish outsiders strive to take the next step in human evolution... A vicious serial murderer finds himself stepping on the toes of some very powerful beings... A journalist gets caught in the middle of a battle between rival zombie cults... A hapless woman causes bloody carnage with an uncontrollable killer mind virus... These are just a few of the monsters on offer in this collection of macabre tales, monsters who hope to either shed their monstrosity... or revel in it.
