Small Monsters is really on-the-nose, but also beautifully written so it can push you to read it when you might not otherwise. As others have said it is quite graphic, but does not dwell on the grossness. Rather it dwells on the injustice, which is the thing to do. Monster world can feel a bit removed from human world, but it shouldn't--this is the way some experience it. Deserves its nomination for the Locus and to be read.
