Monsters and Their Makers
Behind every monster is its maker! Vampires, werewolves, giants, and dragons are just a few of the vile and fantastic creatures you'll find lurking in the pages of this book. Read all about them and the writers whose vivid imaginations brought these monsters to life. Meet Homer, the ancient Greek poet whose epic poem The Odyssey featured Cyclopes, one-eyed, man-eating giants. Visit Mary Shelley, author of the immortal Frankenstein, and Bram Stoker of Dracula fame. Take a chilling ride around the block in Stephen King's Christine, a car with just a little bit of an attitude problem. |
