An Anthology of Monsters: How Story Saves Us from Our Anxiety


Awards

  • Winner of Trade Non-fiction Book of the Year, Alberta Book Publishing Awards, Book Publishers Association of Alberta 2024 (Canada)

Overview

An Anthology of Monsters by Cherie Dimaline, award-winning author of The Marrow Thieves, is the tale of an intricate dance with life-long anxiety. It is about how the stories we tell ourselves can help reshape the ways in which we think, cope, and ultimately survive. Using examples from her books, from her mère, and from her own late night worry sessions, Dimaline choreographs a deeply personal narrative about all the ways in which we tell stories. She reveals how to collect and curate our stories, how they elicit difficult and beautiful conversations, and how family and community is a place of refuge and strength.
