Combined, the editors of this anthology of new Montreal writing have been issuing small press books, chapbooks, comics and broadsheets for over a decade. One is Ottawa-based, providing an outsider's perspective, and the other works in the heart of the Montreal's anglophone under-ground. Collected here are many of the Montreal writers they have published over the past few years and who they believe are producing not only the best writing in Montreal, but some of the best writing, period.

"Contained within these yellowing pages is the summation of a decade of publishing by one of Canada's most innovative publishers. Everyone who has published under the conundrum press imprint has provided material especially for this book." "Featuring fiction, comics, essays, drawings and everything in between this anthology harkens back to the superior quality of the products of yesteryear. In fact, the tear-inducing nostalgia contained herein is enough to melt any cynic's heart. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET.

Monster Island Three is the book anthology of the art zine edited by popular Montreal artist Billy Mavreas. It contains comics and essays about monsters and comics. These artists pit their personal demons against the universal monsters of popular culture (Frankenstein, Godzilla, The Wolfman, etc...). This book straddles the line between comic anthology and art book but also contains essays to give historical context to the art.
