A film based on the novel is planned to start filming in 2004, starring Jessica Biel as both Shannon and Brandy.
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 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.
