A deeply personal narrative about all the ways in which we cower and crush through stories.
An Anthology of Monsters by Cherie Dimaline, award-winning author of The Marrow Thieves, is the tale of an intricate dance with life-long anxiety. It is about how the stories we tell ourselves can help reshape the ways in which we think, cope, and ultimately survive. Using examples from her books, from her mère, and from her own late night worry sessions, Dimaline choreographs a deeply personal narrative about all the ways in which we tell stories. She reveals how to collect and curate our stories, how they elicit difficult and beautiful conversations, and how family and community is a place of refuge and strength.

Cherie Dimaline is the award-winning author of Hunting by Stars, Empire of Wild, and the international bestseller The Marrow Thieves, winner of the Governor General’s Award and the prestigious Kirkus Prize for Young Readers. She is from the Georgian Bay Métis Community and lives in Midland, Ontario.
