“Equal parts nightmarish and outrageously funny, this graphic novel adventure is a thrilling joyride through an electrifying world!”—Max Brallier, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth
When shy, anxious Milo rings the doorbell of the forbidden Shock City castle on a dare, he gets more than he bargained for when peppy young monster Sunny answers the door and labels herself Milo's new BFF. But when Milo returns to tell Sunny he—and the rest of the town's residents—are moving out of the crumbling Shock City, his monster pal refuses to accept it. She soon convinces Milo to join her on a romp around the city to reverse the damages done, and persuade him and everyone else, to stay. But when Sunny learns that her grandfather, the great Darkness Von Shock, was not the revered benefactor she believed him to be, and is actually the cause of everything bad happening in Shock City, Milo confronts his biggest fears to help Sunny save the town and reverse her family's reputation.
Comic artist, writer, and character designer Aaron Alexovich's first professional art job was building hideous children for Nickelodeon’s Invader Zim. Since then he’s been building hideous children for various animation and comic projects, including Avatar: The Last Airbender, Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, Disney’s Haunted Mansion, DC’s Fables, Kimmie66, Confessions of a Blabbermouth, Stitched, the Lovecraftian horror/comedy Eldritch! (with art by Drew Rausch), IT’S NOT SCARY!, and three volumes of Serenity Rose. He also worked on the Zim comic series and movie. (Don’t let Jhonen plant explosive chips in your brain, kids!)
Aaron was born and raised under seventeen beautiful miles of ice in Chicago, Illinois, but currently lives in Southern California, where the bright light makes him sneeze for mysterious reasons.
