Monster on the Hill
Monster on the Hill | Rob Harrell
7 posts | 9 read | 11 to read
Top Shelf is proud to announce the arrival of Rob Harrell, creator of the syndicated comic strip "Big Top," and his first graphic novel series, "Monster on the Hill." In a fantastical 1860s England, every quiet little township is terrorized by a ferocious monster -- much to the townsfolk's delight! Each town's unique monster is a source of local pride, not to mention tourism. Each town, that is... except for one. Unfortunately, for the people of Stoker-on-Avon, their monster isn't quite as impressive. In fact, he's a little down in the dumps. Can the morose Rayburn get a monstrous makeover and become a proper horror? It's up to the eccentric Dr. Charles Wilkie and plucky street urchin Timothy to get him up to snuff, before a greater threat turns the whole town to kindling! Monsters of all ages are sure to enjoy this tale about life's challenges, the power of friendship, and creative redemption, packed with epic battles and plenty of wild beasts! "Really fun, goofy, extremely silly fantasy for readers of all ages, crying out for reviewers and critics to make appalling puns of the 'monstrously good' variety." -- Neil Gaiman

4.25⭐ This story about a depressed town monster is quite funny. It has a snarky, quirky, and a bit absurd comedy, and the illustrations are a delight. It was a bit predictable, but the amount of enjoyment I had while reading it made up for this.

Okay, this book about a depressed monster is absolutely adorable so far. I hope the monster can get the help he needs and feel better!

What an adorable graphic novel. Rayburn is a bit depressed and just doesn't feel scary anymore. With the help of some new friends, and an old school friend, he finds his confidence again. Will it be in time though to save his town from the evil monster? 😱

Really well done book for kids of all ages. And the imagery is great.

This graphic novel was awesome. The humor was spot-on and laugh-out-loud. The art was perfect for the style of story. I felt like it could have been a Monty Python sketch. I'll be reading this one again before it goes back to the library!

This was so cute! My friend thrust it upon me and I loved it. Definitely do recommend if you want a sweet and funny graphic novel. I‘d even say this one is utterly kid appropriate.
