Description Everybody knows the most memorable monsters--vampires, werewolves, zombies, mad scientists' creations--and you will find all of those classic creatures suitably featured in this monsterrific new anthology from multiple award-winning editor Stephen Jones. But other monstrosities are also ably represented within these pages...An academic goes in search of a mythological creature in Thomas Ligotti's "The Medusa", a stone gargoyle is brought to life in "Downmarket" by Sydney J. Bounds, and a reclusive islander shares his world with shape-changing selkies in Robert Holdstock's haunting tale "The Silvering". Late-night office workers are menaced by hungry horrors in Ramsey Cambell's claustrophobic "Down There", while the monsters of both Brian Lumley's "The Thin People" and Basil Copper's "The Flabby Men" share only a semblance of humanity. The King of the Monsters himself turns up in "Godzilla's Twelve Step Program" by Joe R. Lansdale, R. Chetwynd-Hayes' "The Shadmock" and Clive Barker's "Rawhead Rex" are genuinely new monsters, and the last monster-fighter and the last classic monster confront each other in Kim Newman's "The Chill Clutch of the Unseen". If you like monsters, then there are plenty to choose from in this creature-filled collection boasting some of the biggest names in horror, fantasy and science fiction.
