Fabulous Monsters - Dracula, Alice, Superman, and Other Literary Friends

This book examines how characters we think we know suddenly shift from behind their conventional stories and, far from accepting the roles assigned to them, our fictional heroes demand enough wiggle-room to teach us about the complexities of love, loss, and life.
