The First Monsters: Ancient Creatures That Still Haunt Us

By Aldric Voss

Before the pyramids, before Homer, before the alphabet itself - there were monsters.

The First Monsters explores the terrifying creatures of the ancient world: the fire-breathing guardian of the Cedar Forest, the crocodile god in the Nile, the Egyptian devourer of unworthy hearts, the serpent that tried to swallow the sun, the Gorgon whose gaze turned men to stone, and eighteen others across Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

These were not primitive superstitions. They were sophisticated answers to the deepest questions human beings have ever asked: Does it matter how I live? Can the darkness be defeated? What does the wild want from us? What does civilization hide at its center?

Four thousand years old. More relevant than ever.
