Sean from creepsylvania.com sent me an awesome surprise this month, a colouring book I’ve actually been looking forward to seeing for years. The Monster Gallery Colouring Book is an early seventies masterpiece illustrated by Mark Savee (with text by Leah Waskey) and each page is a stunning tribute to a famous monster of either screen […]
