Recipe for making a monster

It is in childhood, a dark and frightening zone, that passions and unspeakable desires predominate, human nature, at its most transparent, at odds with the world around it. This perversity is the focus of the stories in Recipe for Making a Monster: short and impactful, they are told with dry objectivity by a cruel narrator through accounts of the experiences, relationships, and lessons that make up the fabric of our lives. The result is a sequence of shocks and revelations that produces the effect of an obsession in the reader.
