ABOUT:

Monster Complex™ explores monster fiction in all its forms—books, movies, TV, comic books, games, and anywhere else you can find stories about monsters and those who hunt them and/or love them. Whether it’s stories about science gone wrong, vampires, werewolves, spirits, folklore, mythology, cryptozoology, or anything of the like—Monster Complex™ will be right there with interviews, lists, roundups, and discussions.

Monster Complex™ is hosted by Chris Well, author and friend of monsters. (Well, the good ones.) Chris Well has been a writer pretty much his entire life. Over the years, he’s worked in newspapers, magazines, radio, and books. Now the chief of the website Monster Complex™, he celebrates monster stories in classic fiction and pop culture. He has also started writing horror comedy stories that embrace Universal Monsters, 1960s sitcoms, 1980s action movies, The X-Files, and Marvel Comics.
