    About this ebook

    Monsters come in all sizes, dimensions, forms, and formlessness. For more than two centuries, horror writers have given these beings shape and substance in chilling tales of terror, written that readers might know them and fear them. M is for Monsteris your field guide to some of the most frightening monsters ever to appear on the printed page. Its orderly exploration of the many species of fictional monsters--one for each letter of the alphabet--serves as a modern-day bestiary of bizarre beings, creepy creatures, and things that go bump in the night, as only the most talented writers of supernatural fiction  could imagine them.   Featuring classic stories by H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, H.G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, M.R. James, and other masters of the macabre, M is for Monster is the perfect book for readers who want to know their horrors from A to Z.
