Synopsis Monstrous Things by : Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock
An indispensable resource for students and researchers of paranormal myth and media, this book explores the undead and unholy in literature, film, television, and popular culture. Following an introduction to frightful manifestations in media, sections address ghosts, vampires, and monsters individually, and each section includes a broad consideration of the ghost, vampire or monster in American culture. The section dedicated to ghosts examines the "spectral turn" of popular culture and the ghost's relation to justice and mourning, with particular attention to Toni Morrison and Herman Melville. In the vampires section, the author considers the undead bloodsucker's relationship to anti-Semitism, suicide, and cinema. The third section discusses monsters in relation to topics such as global pandemics, terrorism, mass shootings, "stranger danger," and social otherness, with attention to a range of popular culture texts including the films IT and It Follows.

Synopsis This Monstrous Thing by : Mackenzi Lee
A wildly creative Gothic fantasy retelling of Frankenstein, This Monstrous Thing is a wholly new reimagining of the classic novel by Mary Shelley and is perfect for fans of retellings such as Cinder by Marissa Meyer, fantasy by Libba Bray and Cassandra Clare, and alternative history by Scott Westerfeld. In an alternative fantasy world where some men are made from clockwork parts and carriages are steam powered, Alasdair Finch, a young mechanic, does the unthinkable after his brother dies: he uses clockwork pieces to bring Oliver back from the dead. But the resurrection does not go as planned, and Oliver returns more monster than man. Even worse, the novel Frankenstein is published and the townsfolk are determined to find the real-life doctor and his monster. With few places to turn for help, the dangers may ultimately bring the brothers together—or ruin them forever.

A new take on an age-old genre will keep you turning the pages until the very end. After all, it only takes a single bite to begin an epic adventure. AN ANCIENT CURSE. A STORY FROM MYTH. CAN HE LIVE IN THE SHADOW OF THE MONSTER WITHIN? In Bronze Age Greece a foolish king dared to test the storm-gatherer Zeus. In his arrogance and hubris the king felt the wrath of that God and faded into obscure myth... or so the world thought. The dark corners of the Earth that ancient curse lingered, twisting and mutating, creating rumours of a monster that dwells within a man. Through time and legend it passed, until in whispers it reached modern day Greece... Facing an uncertain future, Joshua Dare has embarked on a modern rite of passage - a European getaway. In Greece, during a wild night out, a mysterious barman tells Josh that he’s going to have a particularly lucky night. Yet, fate sees him walking home alone through the dark woods of Corfu. Under the light of a full moon, destiny comes for Josh in the form of a terrifying monster from myth. A harrowing escape leaves him wondering if it was all just a dream. A vicious bite left no scar and dried blood seems to be all that remains of his encounter. Back home in Australia, the secrets of that night are revealed in lunar light. When the full moon rises in the tropical city of Cairns, death follows. Legend becomes reality as Josh struggles to comprehend the changes he’s undergoing. A local policeman and his friend, Jesse, knows something is connecting Josh to a spate of bloody massacres in Cairns. And he's not the only one. Now, Josh has been thrust into a world of hidden organisations and shady government operatives. His affliction is different. To understand the power he carries, Josh must unravel the truth of an ancient Greek king cursed by a god. Chased by foreign agents and fearing the beast within, Joshua Dare needs to uncover old secrets revealed only in the light of the full moon. Get ready for a supernatural thriller with BITE! Inspired heavily by Greek mythology, In the Shadow of Monstrous Things is an exciting new telling of an age-old monster story, with some unexpected twists along the way. For action, horror, gore and a little romance, look no futher than In the Shadow of Monstrous Things!

Synopsis Monstrous by : MarcyKate Connolly
Reminiscent of Frankenstein and tales by the Brothers Grimm, this debut novel stands out as a compelling, original story that has the feel of a classic. The city of Bryre suffers under the magic of an evil wizard. Because of his curse, girls sicken and disappear without a trace, and all live in fear. No one is allowed outside after dark. Night is when Kymera comes to the city, with a cloak disguising her wings, the bolts in her neck, and her spiky tail. Her mission is to rescue the girls of Bryre. Despite Kym's caution in going secretively, a boy named Ren sees and befriends her . . . but what he knows will change her world forever.

Synopsis Monstrous Anatomies by : Raul Calzoni
The book explores the significance and dissemination of 'monstrous anatomies' in British and German culture by investigating how and why scientific and literary representations and descriptions of abnormal bodies were proposed in the late Enlightenment, during the Romantic and the Victorian Age. Since the investigations of late 18th-Century natural sciences, the fascination with monstrous anatomies has proved crucial to the study of human physiology and pathology. Featuring essays by a number of scholars focusing on a wide range of literary texts from the long nineteenth century and foregrounding the most important monstrous anatomies of the time, this book intends to offer a significant contribution to the study of the representations of the abnormal body in modern culture.
