My friend Zack Giallongo was kind enough to ask me to sit in for co-host Ben Hatke on episode 11 of the Monster Market podcast. We discussed six of our favorite monsters from literature (which I interpreted a little loosely, at least for one of my picks.) We discussed them, then drew them. Here are my picks:

We also talked about our own monster creations, and my entry was the Living Doll from The Inscrutable Doctor Baer and the Case of the Two-Faced Statue:
