Encyclopedia of Monsters

The Encyclopedia of Monsters is an authoritative guide to every kind of monster, ranging from the Abominable Snowman to werewolves. The book includes creatures of lakes and rivers, of sea, the land and the air. There is a description of each creature's curious physical characteristics, it's habits and probable location.

The book also gives accounts of expeditions in search of various monsters and a brief history of how and when each monster was sighted. The many photographs and drawings shed further light on an elusive subject.

Some of the monsters described in this volume have been exposed as hoaxes or myths. Daniel Cohen gives the background of these legends, explaining how they evolved. And in the case of hoaxes, he tells how these ingenious frauds were produced.
