AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'One ordinary day, an enormous creature dragged itself out of the ocean and laid waste to a city. In the months and years that followed, more and more creatures appeared, until not a single country remained untouched. At first, people tried to fight them. In the end, all they could do was try and stay alive.
'We Call It Monster is a story of forces beyond our control, of immense and impossible creatures that make plain how small we really are. It is the story of our fight for survival and our discovery of that which truly matters: community and compassion, love and family, hope and faith.'

Notes
-
Walter refers to this as a story-cycle: the monsters' emergence and its consequences are told in inter-linked short stories, where secondary characters from earlier stories emerge as primary characters in later ones.
