Description

For many people, monsters are nothing more than myth, folklore and legend combined. For others - and particularly those who have encountered monstrous forms surfacing and emerging from shadowy caves, from the dark waters of ancient lakes and from the vast jungles and forests of our worlds - monsters are all too terrifyingly real. Werewolves, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra, Mothman, the Abominable Snowman and sea serpents may represent the most famous monsters, but they are not alone.
