The End / Bibliography
Below is a fairly complete list of all the books, stories, and poems talked about in The Big Book of Monsters and in this blog over the last nine months. The only works omitted are 1. those mentioned merely in other (ho hum!) lists, and 2. the occasional recent book that snuck in among all these old ones.
I’m not telling you you should read every text listed below—I sure haven’t! If you do, though,

"Its five star bizarre.... not great reading... probably racially insensitive.
And available for reading in the googles." |

“A shameful fact about humanity is that some people can be so ugly that no one will be friends with them. It is shameful that humans can be so cruel, and it is shameful that humans can be so ugly.”

| What's the Name o...: SOLVED. YA Fantasy, people shapeshift into animals, main character (boy) is hunted by a group & is unable to change into an animal until the end (spoilers). Accompanied by ink illustrations of various animals (1 per chapter). [s] | 4 | 59 | Jun 26, 2019 08:47AM |
“...beneath the temple of Emesa there is a system of special sewers wherein the human blood rejoins the plasma of certain animals. Through these sewers, coiling into broiling corkscrews whose circles diminish the further they descend to the depths of the earth, the blood of those sacrificed according to the needful rites will find its way back to the geological seams, the congealed cracks of chaos. This pure blood, thinned and refined by the rituals, and rendered acceptable to the god of the underworld, splashes the groaning deities of Erebus, whose breath finally purifies it.”
