Jumping from the grotesque to horror, Much Loved Monster records the unusual conversation between two characters that to begin with seem very different, but who discover as their verbal tussle continues something that links them together: an obsession with a possessive mother. Javier Tomeo confirms in this novel his ability to create ominously dream-like situations with a hyperrealist finishing touch. With moments as funny as others are blood-curdling, this story by means of dialogue first pulls the reader in then leads them towards an unexpected ending.
