Book cover titled 'The Poet Who Cried Monster' by John Sara, featuring a black and white image of a skeleton with an open mouth and bony hands across a background of bookshelves. Includes a quote: 'Sometimes, the monsters grow up with you,' and an orange speech bubble that says 'BOO, DUDE! OPEN FOR A SCREAM - 62 SPINE-TINGLING POEMS!'

The Poet Who Cried Monster is my debut poetry collection from Alien Buddha Press. The book contains 62 poems taking inspiration from R.L. Stine’s original Goosebumps series of the 1990s, transforming the titles into meditations on adolescence, family, monstrosity, and what it means to be an other.
