Monstrous: The Lore, Gore, and Science behind Your Favorite Monsters by Carlyn Beccia. Carolrhoda Books/ Lerner Publishing Group, September, 2019. 9781512449167. (Review of free e-book courtesy of Junior Library Guild.)

Fact Friday features Monstrous: The Lore, Gore, and Science behind Your Favorite Monsters by Carlyn Beccia. Now, you might not immediately consider that a book about various mythological creatures would be informational. Nay, there is science behind the myths! Ms. Beccia highlights creature such as the Kraken, Big Foot, Frankenstein, werewolves and Godzilla in this informative encyclopedia of the macabre. This is quite a dark, yet humorous examination of the mythological creatures that scare us most.
