Dark fantasy author Shaun Hamill’s debut A Cosmology of Monsters is a fascinating coming-of-age fable that explores the nature of mental illness and monsters and the grey areas where they may be one and the same.

Shaun also goes into a lot of how he crafted the story, since this is his debut novel and covers a lot of ground for him learning how to write the story he wanted to tell.
