My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is a 3-book series with 2 primary works first released in 2017 with contributions by Emil Ferris.
Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing Is Monsters is one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the past decade. Set against the tumultuous political backdrop of late ’60s Chicago, the book is presented as the fictional graphic diary of 10-year-old Karen Reyes as she tries to solve the murder of her beloved and enigmatic upstairs neighbor, Anka Silverberg, a holocaust survivor, while the interconnected stories of those around her unfold. Visually, the story is told in Ferris's inimitable style that breathtakingly and seamlessly combines panel-to-panel storytelling and cartoon montages filled with B-movie horror and pulp monster mag iconography.
