Monsterology: Fabulous Lives of the Creepy, the Revolting, and the Undead is the<br />
most fun anyone can have with some of the nastiest creatures ever<br />
imagined! Who can resist morsels like the fact that “Drakul”<br />
means “son of the dragon” in Romanian, that the first Golem<br />
may have been Enkidu, who appeared in the ancient Epic of<br />
Gilgamesh, and that Frankenstein’s Monster was first inspired by<br />
Mary Shelley’s nightmare?<br />
Governor General’s Award-winner Arthur Slade has gathered<br />
together fifteen scary critters, ranging from Dracula to Golem,<br />
from Frankenstein to Baba Yaga and even a zombie. He provides<br />
facts, real history, imagined history, and lots of jokes to make<br />
these creatures come to life. Slade’s hilarious text presents<br />
delicious imagined gossip, favorite blood types, favorite movies,<br />
and even favorite haunts (you should pardon the expression) with<br />
character descriptions and thoroughly researched background<br />
information.<br />
Lively black-and-white illustrations by Derek Mah make this a<br />
book that is sure to be a hit with every monster-loving reader.<br />
