- Summary:
- The definition of 'monster' lurks in shadows just as the conjured images of classic monsters haunts the darkened passages of our imagination. We catch glimpses; spot ill-defined shapes in the blackness as we cringe in fear. 'Who's there?' we whisper, afraid of the reply but even more terrified by the silence. We reach for the light striving to see. The chapters originate from a meeting of scholars seeking to bring light to the darkened world of Monsters and the Monstrous, the goal being not to turn away in fear but to confront, explore, and ask questions of them. Within the pages of this volume are the results of the conversations that took place among them.
