Book excerpt: The word "monster" derives from the Latin "monstrum" meaning, "to give warning." In ancient times, children born deformed were often turned out of doors, to die of the elements or be eaten by predators. Such children were thought to be an omen of the gods of great danger, struck fear in the hearts of superstitious peasants. The seven tales collected herein are classics of the horror genre. Do they feature monsters of every stripe: stitched-together whatsits, as well as menacing whosits (freshly returned from the dead), and even oh so sinister and sepulchral can-it-bes? You bet your life! Whether they be monsters of flesh, clay, wood, or the reeking denizens of unearthed boneyards, they will not fail to put a creep in your crawl and a shiver in your haystack! So come on, climb aboard. If you dare! Cover image found at Pixabay. No attribution is required. Published by Zem Books. www.lulu.com/spotlight/zem66
