A Monster Calls illustrator Jim Kay says: 'The important thing was to give the reader the room to create their own characters and images in their mind, I was just putting suggestions of the Monster and Conor in there to help them along the way; darkness and ambiguity allows the reader to illuminate the scenes internally.'
