Alison Croggon doesnât wish her sister harm. She dreads the thought of any rogue accident or illness that might drag her back into what she experienced as the poisonous tangle of their relationship. Monsters: A Reckoning is a tale of siblings torn apart by a shared past â one sisterâs wounded memories of the other. âHer suffering must always be much greater than the suffering of others â but what if it actually is? What then? No, I couldnât bear it,â Croggon admits. âWhat kind of person reacts like that?â she asks us, or perhaps only herself. âWhat sort of person is cruel enough to write it down? Some kind of monster. Me, it seems.â
