Book Tour: Man Made Monsters by Andrea L. Rogers Review & Author Interview

Man Made Monsters by Andrea L. Rogers Synopsis Tsalagi should never have to live on human blood, but sometimes things just happen to sixteen-year-old girls. Following one extended Cherokee family across the centuries, from the tribe’s homelands in Georgia in the 1830s to World War I, the Vietnam War, our own present, and well into the future, each story delivers a slice of a particular time…

Man Made Monsters | Andrea L. Rogers

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Man Made Monsters is a collection of horror short stories organized chronologically surrounding a family and exploring intergenerational trauma. High recommend for those interested in horror short stories.

I loved this, this is so well-written and the art adds amazing contextualization for each story. Special shout out to American Predators, Lens, Deer Women, I Come From the Water, and Zombies Attack the Drive In! as some of my favorites.

The explanation and descriptions of the Cherokee language are also excellent and provide some great positioning to better understand and contextualize each of the stories.

Man Made Monsters

Man Made Monsters by Andrea L. Rogers

Man Made Monsters is a collection of interlinked short horror stories grounded in history and Cherokee tradition. Though the story collection’s pieces can be read individually, author Andrea L. Rogers rewards readers who follow the Wilson family’s thread of terror from 1839 to 2039 with the richness of a fully fleshed-out world. Accompanying the stories are Jeff Edwards’ illustrations which tie Cherokee imagery to the text. Readers of supernatural horror will find inventive twists on classic monsters. Readers who prefer their horror in the true-crime vein will enjoy Rogers’ relentless mirroring of supernatural horrors with human horrors throughout history. In Man Made Monsters’ final stories, set in 2029 and 2039, fans of speculative and sci-fi thrillers will relish original projections of our future world. In short, no matter your typical genre, you’ll find Rogers’ collection to be a page-turner worthy of recommending to fellow story lovers.

Gotham has so many rogues and most of them don’t actually cause that much trouble in the grand scheme of things, so other than the really big ones, like joker, news about Gotham rogues can get pretty muddled outside the city which leads the JL to believing that Batman and Manbat are the same person and that their colleague sometimes turns into a giant bat monster but they don’t bring it up bc they think it’s a sensitive topic

Which eventually leads to a scenario like this mid combat when they’re getting pretty desperate:

Green Lantern: I know we’re not supposed to talk about it or whatever, but it would be really helpful if you could turn into a giant bat right now, spooky

Batman, having zero context for this comment, pausing mid fight to look at Hal like he just grew a second head: What the fuck are you talking about, Jordan?

Green Lantern, suddenly much less confident: Um…you know how you…turn into a giant bat?

Batman, utterly bewildered, turning to the other members but finding that he is clearly the only one out of the loop: what is happening right now

EPIC fans: what else was Odysseus supposed to do?! Scylla was the only way home!!

Me, an intellectual: there WAS a way for Odysseus and crew to get past Scylla without one crew member dying. They previously had a bunch of Sirens at their mercy, so if they so wished, they could have used six sirens to satisfy Scylla’s price.

After all…ruthlessness (to others) is mercy upon ourselves
