Scottsdale Public Library's Reviews > Monstrilio

Dark and hauntingly beautiful, the grotesque Monstrolio has onion layered themes. At its most accessible core, belonging, being human, grief, the fierceness of a mother's love and acceptance. This incredibly unique debut by Cordova has similar themes and tropes to Frankenstein and Kafka's Metamorphosis. I highly recommend this captivating and disturbing tale and hope to read more Cordova in the near future. -Lisanne
