 A collection of short stories following a Cherokee family through the generations, Man Made Monsters is a really cool project. The title works in multiple ways, as each story deals with some sort of paranormal or strange entity, juxtaposed with the very real monstrosity that comes from regular ol' humans. 

There are some really great stories and some okay stories, but I loved the framework of this being a story of a family through time, from the 1800s to the near future. I loved flipping back to the family tree and seeing who we were following, and how they were related to the last story.

I very much enjoyed reading this, and I'll definitely have to check out what else Andrea L. Rogers has to offer.
