Monsters have preoccupied mankind from the earliest times: even
cave art includes animal-human monsters. Certainly monsters were
present in the ancient religions of Egypt and Mesopotamia; the Old
Testament describes the giant land and sea monsters Behemoth and
Leviathan, while in the world of Classical mythology, monsters
embody the fantasies of the gods and the cruellest punishments of
human beings. While we may no longer worry about being eaten by
trolls on the way home, there remains a fascination with these
creatures who have shadowed us throughout history. This book
explores monsters down the ages and throughout the world. It
provides a dark yet engrossing visual history of the human mind,
lit up by flashes of wild and unearthly inspiration.
