"Just before midnight, on the night of a full moon, a young barber stays out past his bedtime to go to work. Although his customers are mostly regulars, they are anything but normal—after all, even monsters need haircuts. Business is steady all night, and this barber is prepared for anything with his scissors, rotting tonic, horn polish, and stink wax. It's a tough job, but someone's got to help these creatures maintain their ghoulish good looks" (Goodreads feature review).

The best element of this book is the casual embrace of all things ghoulish and the subtle humor in the pictures. This is perfect for reading one-to-one in order to really take in the absence of Dracula in the mirror, the barber's blindfold as he braids Medusa's snakes, and the varying monsters strewn throughout the pages.
