Introducing Rah!, a wise being with an attitude. Ask for advice and they will offer their opinion, shining light on the darkest of problems. Ritualistic in nature and more solemn that one might expect for such a luminous being, they have moments of almost futuristic premonitions. Show respect, even if you do not believe.

The Mysterious Monster March: THE CONVERSATION
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"After Meenu gobbles the crisp tartlets that
are offered, he asks "Where is everyone going?"
"I'm not sure" growls one, scratching its neck.
"It is a BIG mystery!", another whispers, smiling
nervously. One teeny monster mumbles
"I'm just following the others."

The Mysterious Monster March: JUST HATCHED
Illustration from a children's picture book that I am working on.

"The baby shivers in the cold.
His tummy growls and grumbles.
A nearby squabble grows louder.
'Maybe they have food', her thinks,
and follows them into the forest."

Gorgeous Monster: Ms. Premivarria of the Chewston tribe & her Screaming Meemees: Alto, Basil and Suprema.

Welcome to my new interview series. I am the official human spokesperson for the Guardian Monster Guild, editor of the "Monster Times & Review" and author of the glamorous tell-all book, "What Monsters Want". These are hard-won credentials that I have worked tirelessly to obtain. As an ordinary human being, entering the realm of Monsterdom requires a rigorous determination, and an ego that can survive all manner of taunts, threats and indignation. I have endured countless nips, pokes and licks from numerous monsters whose intent, it seems, was to provoke me into giving up. I have proved them wrong! NOTE: This latest set of interviews on monster pets is for human eyes only and includes interviews with a select group from the Gorgeous Monsters Society. (This is the name they give themselves.) Here we discuss their feelings of unabashed adoration for their beloved pets as well as their care and feeding.
