"An urgent (and often very funny) attempt to explain a coocoo-rococo
cosmology made up of garbled fragments of role-playing games,
Transformers episodes, relaxation exercises and horror movies." -- The
New York Times
The Understanding Monster--Book Two follows Pharoah Tellitome,
Inspector Gimble, and Master Sponko on their quest to awaken Izadore.
Constructed with the same intricate, lush visuals as the first volume,
the story returns to the world of time crystals, afterlife quests,
thought projection resurrection and the ever-majestic Toy Mountain.
