ONE CITY, TWO KILLERS!

As children, we were always afraid of the unknown. The darkness held monsters and creatures that we could not see. As adults, we try to rationalize these fears and tell ourselves they are just stories. But what if they aren't?

Wilson Jackson's book "Here There Be Monsters" explores the idea that there may be more to our fears than just our imagination. The book takes us on a journey through different cultures and times, examining the myths and legends that surround creatures of the night.

The stories in the book range from famous monsters like vampires and werewolves to lesser-known creatures like the churel of India. Jackson's writing is engaging and informative, and he does an excellent job of bringing these legends to life.

One of the most interesting parts of the book is the examination of the cultural significance of these legends. In many cases, these creatures were used to explain the unexplainable, such as death or mental illness. Understanding the cultural context of these stories adds a new layer of appreciation to them.

Overall, "Here There Be Monsters" is an excellent exploration of the things that go bump in the night. It takes us beyond the typical horror movies and shows us the rich history and culture behind these legends.

The book also delves into the psychology behind our fear of the unknown. Jackson suggests that our fear of monsters may stem from a primal instinct to protect ourselves from danger. This fear is heightened when we are in unfamiliar surroundings or situations, such as being alone in the dark. Understanding this aspect of our fear can help us overcome it and face our fears head-on.

 

Moreover, the book raises questions about whether these creatures could actually exist. While science tells us that vampires and werewolves are not real, there are still many unexplained phenomena in the world that could be attributed to supernatural beings. The possibility of their existence adds another layer of intrigue to these legends.

 

In conclusion, "Here There Be Monsters" is a captivating read for anyone interested in mythology, folklore, or horror stories. It provides a fascinating look at the cultural significance and psychological roots of our fear of monsters while also entertaining with its vivid storytelling. Whether you believe in these creatures or not, this book will leave you questioning what really goes bump in the night.
