Blurb from volume one. There exists a world of horrors beneath the one we know, where the creatures of our nightmares stalk amongst humanity. The Chain polices this world, a covert agency -of killer monsters keeping the human herd from growing too thin. With an Introduction by Kieron Gillen.

Necessary Monsters 2 – Murderbox

Necessary Monsters: Murderbox is a spy thriller where the world is awash with beasts and monsters, dark things that cut, bite, slash and generally kill you. Daniel Goodbrey twists and turns the plot around, following all the rules of thriller writing, throwing in some grotesquery and trimmings of weird, shadowy worlds, but playing up to the clichés, luxuriating in them, even, adding a knowing twist to the thrills – Forbidden Planet. With and introduction from Si Spurrier.
