Nice book, but wanted MORE!
It's very well illustrated on quality paper, but a bit thin at just 190 pages. For me, it was an appetizer, yet I want the entree. Also, author Mark Voger spends a lot of time on certain topics like TV horror movie host "Zacherley" (who also wrote the forward). Mark was quite inspired and frightened by him as a kid growing up in the East, but I've never heard of him. It's a fun book with photos & Graphics, but you may want to look elsewhere if you're in need of a deeper dive.

A must for us Monster Kids!
This is not just a coffee table book, it is a fascinating look back at the rise of the Monster popularity back in the good old days. Lots of great photos, lots of great interviews. Takes you back to more innocent times. I really enjoyed this book, and will pass it on to my little boy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
