"This is for the Real McCoy Monster Girls--not because they WANT to
be--but because they need to be. For some it's a calling, their actions
directed by an unknown force. For others, it's in their blood. The DNA
that has been passed down from The Beginning of Time, back when tiny
people lived in transistor radios, vaginas had teeth, and Neanderthal
Monster Girls squatted through The First Supper, leading to the tantrums
and quiet tensions of post-modern dinner tables of today."

"This
is for the ones who must white-knuckle it through polite society. We eat
sugar-free nothing, for we "are" sugar: Granular. Unrefined. Evil.
There's no "on/off" switch, no safety net, no do-overs or practice
throws. You have one chance, and one chance only, like a fearless
tightrope walker. One mis-step and you'll plummet into the gorge of
mediocrity."Erika Lopez wrote books like "Flaming Iguanas" for Simon
& Schuster before she hit the skids and ended up on welfare. Some
say it's because she's mean. Some say it's because she's loud. Some say
it's because she told people to get her books at the library.
Regardless, she's back and taking her rightful place at the head of the
rickety kid's table with the prettiest little brick of a book she's ever
made. Its existence is a metaphor for coming out of hell clutching a
handful of flowers. It's about white-knuckling it through a seemingly
endless tour of The Abyss, and realizing that whatever doesn't kill you
will eventually turn you on.
