sixpenceee:Illustrations from the book A Monster Calls. It’s is a fantasy novel written for children by Patrick Ness illustrated by Jim Kay. Set in present-day England, it features a boy who struggles to cope with the consequences of his mother’s terminal cancer. He starts having nightmares about a monster every night since his mother started her cancer treatment. One night when he wakes up, there is an actual monster right outside his window. He is repeatedly visited in the middle of the night by this monster who tells stories. It was from an original idea by Siobhan Dowd. Dowd was terminally ill with cancer herself when she started the story and died before she could write it. (Source) -- source link
