About this deal

Every single page is brought to life with memorable characters and immersive scenes that will keep even the most wandering attention riveted. We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic. The World’s Worst Monsters promises to showcase 10 “terrifying tales” that will be illustrated by Adam Stower and will publish on 6th July 2023 in hardback, with simultaneous e-book and audio editions. Below you can read an exclusive digital chapter sampler, featuring 'The Legend of the Wolfwere' story, from David Walliams' brand-new book 'The World's Worst Monsters!

Prior to becoming one of the world’s favourite children’s authors, Walliams had already made himself a household name as a comedian – which probably explains why his books are so universally loved.

And the way in which David Walliams created new awesome stories for these monsters was interesting and thoroughly entertaining. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. My personal favourite was The Curious Case of Miss Gorgon; what kid wouldn’t be instantly enthralled by an opening line like ‘The headmaster had been turned into stone! These may not be the scariest monsters you meet, but they can definitely entertain children with fun adventures and differing personalities. David Walliams is the New York Times bestselling author of Demon Dentist, The Midnight Gang, and Grandpa's Great Escape.

Wallaims successfully revamps gothic literature icons and urban legends as inspiration for stories for a younger audience. You’ll need to reserve your tickets online to secure a special goody bag and your place in the queue! Matching the energy of Walliams’ exuberant text is no mean feat, but Stower more than rises to the occasion. David Walliams was most recently UK Children’s number one bestseller with Robodog (TCM Chart, 11 April 2023). It would have been interesting to see more stories with suspenseful scenes or unhappy endings, considering the horror theme.

If you don’t like ghosts, ogres, zombies, vampires, aliens, werewolves or mummies, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. Sign up to The World of David Walliams today and we’ll ensure you’re the first to hear the latest Walliams news, including upcoming events, special offers and school discounts. Thanks for taking the time to enter this competition, we hope you are enjoying reading The Blunders! Two boys obsessed with monsters plan the perfect quick rich scheme whilst a young girl encounters something much more interesting. The World’s Worst Monsters is funny and heart-warming, and magnificently illustrated by Adam Stower – the perfect book to share the pleasure of reading.

Adam Stower studied Illustration at the Norwich School of Art where he obtained a first class BA (Hons) degree and then he went on to do a Masters degree in Narrative Illustration at Brighton University. The World’s Worst Pets was the bestselling children’s book of 2022 (UK TCM Chart, 27 December 2022). However, David Wallaims collection of ten tantalising stories breaks the tradition and introduces young readers to popular monsters with lighthearted backstories.Adding to the fantastic stories by David Walliams were the utterly stunning, full-coloured illustrations by Adam Stower. Readers will revel in delight at the array of frightfully fun characters, including Lord Phantom who has woken up after 500 years to discover that his home has been turned into a theme park, Amber who is convinced her parents and little brother are vampires, Buster who discovers his new pen pal might just be a werewolf and Rose who is on the trail to uncover the true story of the Loch Ness Monster,” HCCB said.

Adam Stower is an award-winning illustrator who has collaborated with David Walliams on Little Monsters, Marmalade, The World’s Worst Pets, Spaceboy, Grannysaurus and Robodog.

We are delighted to announce three signing events for Robodog, with David Walliams and Adam Stower this Easter! Stower commented: “I have always loved monster stories ever since I was little, so illustrating The World’s Worst Monsters has been terrific fun! Receive an exclusive digital excerpt of 'Bat Baby' and 'The Legend of The Wolfwere' before The World's Worst Monsters is released on 6 July! This campaign has now ended – but keep your eyes peeled on our channels for any further updates on fun activities and initiatives you can get involved in! Poorly plotted on the whole, resorting to 'don't eat yellow snow'-type humour, I am gratefully heading back to wider and more fulfilling reads with my youngest now.
