​WAYWORD BOOKS

Artist writer Lola Jovan delivers 12 tantalizing tales in her latest book, MonstroUS, There Will Be Blood. From the very first page it becomes apparent these are no ordinary fairy tales. Narrators include a golem, a few witches, and—yes—a spider.

Throughout, Jovan’s gorgeous full-color paintings and detailed pen and ink illustrations bring her stories to life. 
​
This book, a limited-edition release, is a treasure.

And what should accompany a book the author herself has dubbed “monstrous?” A Fairytale Survival Kit, of course, filled with charms and tokens designed to stave off disastrous outcomes for adventurous readers.
