The Horrifying Definition of Monster

Monster is an imaginary creature that is very large, ugly, and frightening a monster with three heads prehistoric monsters. — Oxford Collocations Dictionary.

Monsters of History

The definition of the word monster is one we attribute to many subjects. Moreover, we can call a person a monster for their actions, responses, or appearance. Ultimately, a monster could be in the eyes of the beholder.

What each of us finds individually attractive doesn’t mean it pleases the masses. What was beautiful in the Renaissance might not be so today. However, have the word monster lose its meaning over time?

Serial Murders

A serial killer is typically a person who murders three or more people, usually in service of abnormal psychological gratification, with the murders taking place over more than a month and including a significant period of time between them. — Wikipedia

The Brutal Fascination

There seems to be a fascination with serial killers. Even I am intrigued by them. So, what is it about them that piques people interest in them? Is it their crimes, the victims? The types of murders they committed.

The brutality of it all? For me, it’s trying to understand how another human being can be so devoid of emotions that they see other humans as prey. Chilling to think of, but to them, we are a means to their dark desires.

Sandman, A Horror Poem

The idea of someone throwing sand in my eyes to have one fall asleep is a creepy thought. Isn’t it?

Scary Granulated Stones

There are not many monsters that scares me, however, when it comes to the Sandman I feel quite disturbed.

He comes in your room at night, throws sand into your eyes and makes you believe it’s for good dreams and yet, I used to have night terrors.

To me, growing up, the Sandman was nothing more that a dreadful evil dust merchant.

Elizabeth Báthory The Blood Countess

Here is the story of a woman who inspired the vampire folklore for centuries. She is one of the most horrifying people who ever lived, and one we can never forget. Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed.

Let’s dig in Elizabeth Báthory the Blood Countess. Elizabeth Báthory, born on August 7th, 1560, was a noble Hungarian woman. She reigned over the Kingdom of Hungary that now is part of Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania.

When young, the countess suffered from many seizures that led historians to understand those were probably from epilepsy and possibly transmitted from inbreeding from her direct parents.

Kerrelyn Sparks How To Marry A Millionaire Vampire Review

I must admit I read, Kerrelyn Sparks’s How To Marry A Millionaire Vampire a while ago, but I still remember it quite well, and I thought maybe it was time for me to do a review about the first book in the Love At Stake series that I read in two sittings.

Nice & Easy

The book itself is quite enjoyable, first of the Love At Stake series by Kerrelyn Sparks. There is no pretence in her writing which is something that I very much enjoy. It is easy to follow, no complications or “read between the lines” all is very well exposed and because of her writing, very relaxing.

The story was captivating from the beginning. The adventure very well thought out to be just enough that you don’t want to put the book down, yet just relaxing enough that you keep turning the pages. It was quite well thought out.

Mummies of Ancient Egypt

The passion about the ancient time, especially Ancient Egypt, is one that is most cherished by many.

The mysteries surrounding an old civilization capable of building tombs that reaches to the sky in perfect geometrical shapes placed to match the orion belt… but what about the mummies of Ancient Egypt?

New in the Old

When the interest in Egypt grew, many archeologists became specialists in the field and formed Egyptology. So many artifacts, hidden history and mysteries waiting to be discovered under the sand of a mystical country.

Pyramids, gardens, statues, the Sphinx, hieroglyphs, mythology, treasures, sarcophagus… and mummies. It took many years to archeologists and historians to finally understand what the purpose of pyramids were and even the reason for mummification was a long debate.

Vampires are a fact?

It is a controversial thought to believe that vampires might be real. People might find you crazy. But what if the myth has some truth to it?

Vampires Older Than Time

Vampires have been part of our folklore for hundreds of years. The beliefs that a being subsisting on the vital fluids of a human has timelessly been retold numerous times around the world.

To be quite honest, I wonder why it hasn’t been part of an episode of Ancient Aliens! Because when you do a little research it has you thinking if vampires are a fact.
