PLOT ''Invisible Monsters'' is the story of Shannon McFarland, an attractive Fashion Model who becomes the victim of a freak accident that results in half her face being destroyed. No longer having a lower jaw, she is now seen by everyone as a hideous freak. As a result, she loses her career and her boyfriend as well. Because she is so hideous, she becomes an "invisible monster" — that is, nobody wants to look at her, so they simply ignore her presence. Her life seems ruined and pointless until she meets Brandy Alexander, a beautiful Transsexual who sees some hope in her. The two of them work together to get revenge on Manus Kelly, Shannon's fiance, and Evie, Shannon's best friend, who are suspected of having been involved in Shannon's accident. Shannon harbours a deep resentment towards her brother, who supposedly died of AIDS. However as the novel progresses, it is revealed that everything is connected in unexpected ways. FILM A film based on the novel was planned to start filming in 2004 , starring Jessica Biel as both Shannon and Brandy. However, the filming was not done that year, and little has been said about the film since. TRIVIA
