I would, but only to someone who has similar interests that this book offers. If they enjoy things like overcoming society and its obstacles, a bit of murder, and the journey of acceptance, it would be an intriguing and interesting read for them. However, it can be slow even for those interested if they are not entirely invested.

The overall theme of A Taste for Monsters is the acceptance of those different than us, regardless of their outward appearance.

The setting is mostly a hospital in London of 1888, a dark and gloomy town for the most part, as the murders of Jack the Ripper are still at large. Not a very pleasant place to live, especially as there’s a large lack of acceptance for those different than you, as Evelyn is accustomed with harassment and mocking on the norm.

As of right now, the book “A Taste For Monsters” has been following the character of Evelyn Fallows in the late 1800s, a nurse assistant with a condition known as “fossy jaw,” a complication from working at an old mathbox company. This condition have common ground for her task at the hospital, taking care of a man named Joseph Merrick. Joseph is extremley disfigured, which made society fear him, calling him the “elephant man.” Understanding that he needs care, the hospital watches after him, placing nurses (and Evelyn) on his watch to help him. Evelyn eventually becomes aquatinted with him, but gets to know another man named Charles Weaver, a friend of Merrick. Weaver then asks Evelyn on a date, which creates the conflict of Evelyn’s self confidence. Because of her conditions, she believes nobody truly cares for her, and only amuse themselves through mocking her.

The novels primary conflict is the main characters confidence, as she lost parts of her jaw due to complications at an old matchbox factory. As Evelyn Fallow assists Joseph, she finds more accepting people along the way. However she is extremely skeptical of this acceptance, fearing that everyone is mocking her, battling her self confidence.

The book, "A Taste for Monsters," follows the story of a young woman with fossy jaw, Evelyn Fallow, in the late 1800s. The story follows her tasks at a hospital, that, due to her age, had to make her a maid instead of a nurse. Her main task in the story is to tend to a disfigured man named Joseph, or the "Elephant Man." Evelyn shows doubt and skepticism at first that this job is right for her, but eventually she builds a friendship to their many things in common. Things like favorite books, enjoyment in music, and their shared seclusion from society. Evelyn also learns some lessons from Joseph, as she sees his bravery and acceptance of his condition.

For the Character creating the conflict of the story, the "Elephant Man," I would cast Sir Anthony Hopkins. Not only for his prestigious roles in other movies, but for his capability to develop pity in his past roles.

In the novel, "A Taste For Monsters," by Matthew J. Kirby, the main character, Evelyn Fallow, is projected to have a sad, yet very calm and positive personality. Throughout the story she is riddled with personal issues, things like the passing of her family, her work in a match factory lead to Phossy Jaw, and her job entitlement as a maid to a man named Joseph, known as the "Elephant Man." She spends the story trying to work as a nurse but becomes a caregiver to this man, who has such a disfigured appearance he has been cast out of society. Evelyn battles this, her own disfigurements, and the loss of her family, but precedes with positive attitudes about life, pushing onward. I believe in the near future of the story, Evelyn will become friends with this man, and eventually will be voluntarily helping him.
