Monsters: can't live with 'em, and can't bear to read books without 'em. A creature-feature conversation with Max Brooks (World War Z), Josh Malerman (Pictures of You), Shane Hawk (Never Whistle at Night), TJ Payne (Intercepts: A Horror Novel), and Marshall J. Moore (The Henchperson's Guide to Unionizing). From zombies to tentacled nightmares and beyond, the panel explores the important questions, including "Is it really a monster if you want to be its friend?", "If you make a regular animal REALLY big, does that make it a horror icon?", and "Why are creatures frequently so gooey?" (Please note: relative gooeyness may or may not be discussed in detail.)
