Lana’s Reviews > On Monsters: An Unnatural History of Our Worst Fears > Status Update

I picked this one up for research and am completely spellbound. So far I’ve learned about the terrifying beasts of Alexander the Great’s imagination - rhinos and cobras whose actual shape and size were probably deformed by the soldiers’ fear. And, more importantly, I found out that Gryphons were real. I can’t explain why this fact makes me so incredibly happy.
