On Monsters: An Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears

Product Information

My own sympathies, which are probably obvious by now, lie with the neo-Enlightenment liberals. Yes, some monsters have turned out to be wrongfully accused and others have been conjured entirely by politicians and priests, but that doesn’t mean there is no such thing as monsters." Every culture has its own gaggle of monsters and beings residing in traditional tales. Versions of some creatures, such as the prolific fairy, populate stories across multiple cultures and countries. Others, meanwhile, are born to a single region. And, as long as these stories continue to captivate audiences, they’ll continue to endure in one form or another, says Young.

A brief history of the world’s most storied mythical creatures

Trolls, fairies and centaurs, oh, my! A primer on three of the most recognizable creatures of legend Asma's book is a thoroughly entertaining and informative discussion of human fear and monsters.

Monsters literal and metaphorical are dissected with skill and discernment in philosopher and scholar Asma's penetrating "unnatural history." Erudite, funny, and deeply attuned to the profound psychological and moral implications of monstrousness, Asma encompasses the mystical and the scientific as he ponders the simultaneous repulsion and attraction monsters arouse... Asma is insightful and entertaining in his discussion of monsters of the deep, supernatural doppelgangers, zombies, and vampires, and intense in his discussion of Freud and the 'science of monstrous feelings...' Asma's far-reaching book of monsterology is original, captivating, and profoundly elucidating."— Booklist starred review Hedrich-Hirsch D (1996) Liberty, equality, monstrosity: revolutionizing the family in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
