Answer preview

In the journal “Monster Culture” the author robustly explains and analyzes monsters and how they are connected with cultures from which they come from. In the introductory paragraph the author states that “What I will propose here by way of a first foray, as entrance into this book of monstrous content, is a sketch of a new modus legendi: a method of reading cultures from the monsters they engender.” It is clear from this statement that the author has been able to maintain an academic tone. The author argues that monsters arise at the crossroads of any given culture in which differences evolve and anxiety heightens.
