Vampires, zombies, and monster men

About this book

Monsters have a strange fascination for us all. In the first half of this two-in-one volume, Daniel Farson explores the monsters we probably fear most - Man Monsters. Vampires, zombies, werewolves, wild men - the questions he asks are absorbing, the answers often astonishing. Angus Hall takes an equally intriguing look at a wider range of monsters, from dragons and dinosaurs to the Yeti and the Loch Ness monster. Might there not be, he wonders, hiding in jungles, lakes or mountains, such improbable creatures? There are more than 300 illustrations, including 12 especially commissioned paintings.
