In lieu of quotes, how about some monster art?
Monster Holmes
Here's a swell cartoon by Tom Gauld that Chris Mautner found for Robot 6 readers.

If it's a gag, I don't pretend to get it. But I don't have to understand the joke to appreciate seeing Sherlock Holmes as a vampire or a preserved head on a robot body.
Ben Templesmith's Dracula

Ben Templesmith shares some fake covers he made for Dracula and Emma, while also reminding us that he's illustrating a real edition of Dracula for IDW. I can't wait to get that.
In the meantime, I think I'll get me some of those blank cover editions and start taking them to conventions. (Update: Or not, since that's only Penguin UK who sells those and they won't sell them to people in the US.)
