This unprecedented illustrated pageant, presented as an accordion folded hardcover book, shows the actual history of monsters from man's earliest fears of the darkness beyond the fire to today's nightmares to see how these terrors found expression in myth, legend, and entertainment. But whatever the time or medium it's always in the unknown where the monsters lurk and fester and wait. Step into Pete Von Sholly's History of Monsters and experience the story as never before.
