Why? In order to save his family members, he decided to sell his soul to Mephisto. Since then, he shares his body with a demon who turns into a flaming skeleton at night

HUmonsters reminds me directly of : We are Monster, or Monster are We.

I found this article interesting especially as it talks about "what makes a monster?". Even if you agree or disagree with his words, I found it interesting to the way he treats the subject of humans and monsters.
