Making Monsters table of contents

Last month we revealed the cover art for the Making Monsters anthology (and which is so lovely, we're giving you it here again—huge thanks to the amazing Robin Kaplan for creating the poignant "Lonely Gorgon"). Now we want to share and celebrate the wonderful authors, poets and critics who make up the table of contents of this volume. As you can see below, there are fifteen short stories, three poems, and six short essays (in addition to introduction and afterword) on the theme of ancient monsters; rethinking, reimagining and retelling their stories.
