Monsters, in all their terrifying glory, have preoccupied humans since we began telling stories. But where did the stories come from? As night closes in, join author Nicholas Jubber on a chilling journey across the world to discover more about the monsters we’ve invented – giants, dragons, ogres, zombies, ghosts and demons – all with one thing in common: their ability to terrify. Sit on the thrones of giants in Cornwall, visit the shrine of a beheaded ogre near Kyoto, travel to a Balkan vampire’s forest dwelling, and paddle among the shapeshifters of the Louisiana bayous… all from the comfort and safety of Hay Castle.
