So much going on here that most would miss and helped me see the show…" Delcroix, Olivier (October 12, 2018). " Moi, ce que j'aime c'est les monstres d'Emil Ferris, prix de la critique ACBD 2019". Le Figaro (in French) . Retrieved April 23, 2019. As the story opens, Karen Reyes’ neighbor, a troubled and beautiful Polish woman named Anka, has suddenly died. That's Anka's beautiful face on the cover of Book One, frightened, world-weary, and full of secretsthat perhaps can be unfolded by looking deeply into the her left eye that stares out at us (there's that eye/seeing theme again). By her own hand, or so they say. Karen, who has a rich interior landscape, sees reasons to question the suicide call and begins to investigate. Karen is a fan of monsters – especially the Universal Studios kind: the Wolf Man, Dracula, and Frankenstein.

Macdonald, Heidi (August 17, 2017). "2017 Ignatz Nominations include a new category; three noms for Ferris". Comics Beat . Retrieved March 2, 2019. Karen’s child-life is hardly realistic. In one sequence, the kid knowingly eats a pot brownie, visits a cemetery at night and meets the ghost of Kate Warn, a proto-secret service agent who watched over Lincoln so well, her vigilant eye was used as the logo for a detective agency and thus spawned the term “private eye.” (One learns a lot of interesting facts, reading Ferris. Don’t even ask me about the meaning of the Gorgon myth!). From what I can tell going by Ferris’ feeble writing and non-existent storytelling ability, the book is about a little girl called Karen in some American city in the 1960s who’s sorta kinda “investigating” the suspicious suicide of her mentally-disturbed neighbour. I say sorta kinda because it’s actually just a small aspect of the obnoxiously huge unfocused mess that is this pseudo-narrative. My favorite thing is Monsters, too. It really is. Monsters, left all alone with my own kind, it's the only thing that keeps me going, you know. That and this new harvest moon, it is so lovely. It's a favorite as well, but not the girl who has a little bit of the moon still left in her name. Still that's not wrong. She's not a favorite. Not anymore. Nope. She's still cute though, but not my favorite. Karen Reyes is a young girl coming of age in 1968 Chicago when her neighbor is murdered, her mother is diagnosed with breast cancer, Martin Luther King is shot and the local mob boss goes to jail.Hoang, Lily (April 9, 2017).

These were horror magazines and they show front covers of some of them through out the book.

So what we see in Ferris’ graphic novel is that those who are depicted in the most traditional, non-human visuals of monsterhood are beautiful and broken outcasts. And there's also no way in hell I'll ever pass up on anything else the author creates. None. I'm a fan for life. The book is written in a notebook style by Karen with drawings and stories. The artwork is totally awesome! Karen draws herself as a werewolf <-- she could really be! And yet, monster or not, Karen Reyes is still a child ruled by child-logic. She is full of invention, and creativity ushers in a sanguine hope. Confronted with death and alienation, Karen Reyes reasons that the only way to survive is to become a monster and the only way to become a true monster — as opposed to the imagined version that she already embodies — is to sacrifice one’s human life. Her logic may have a tenuous grounding, but she relies on it as the serum of life, treating monstrosity as her saving grace. But on another level, Karen Reyes’ quest for immortality is purely unselfish, a form of sacrifice engendered by her mother’s struggle with cancer. Karen Reyes wants a monster to bite her, thereby turning her into a monster, so that she can bite and transform her family into monsters as well. In this way, she seeks to forgo her own humanity to save her mother. Emil Ferris’ story is thus one in which hope only comes in the form of imagining oneself as a monster, and optimism can only be approached through magic. And yet, ‘My Favorite Thing Is Monsters’ can hardly be described as a magical story. Although there are non-realistic elements and moments, such as Karen Reyes entering a painting at the Art Institute in search of a demon, everything about this novel is purged in the brutality and pain of honesty. From this perspective, the existence of monsters is a coping mechanism, a way for a child to understand the world that is otherwise incomprehensible. The detailed texture and realness of Emil Ferris’ Chicago provide the detached correlative of the tragic dimensions of Karen Reyes life.
