This year’s Teen Read Week is October 18th – 24th, and the theme is “Read Beyond Reality @ Your Library”. So pick up a book that’s out of this world, or suggest some titles here for others to enjoy!

Freaky Friday Website

Posted on Friday, June 13, 2008 by sdean

“Since 1998, Monstrous.com seeks to investigate and explore the enduring influence and imagery of monsters and the monstrous on human culture throughout history. In particular, the project has a dual focus with the intention of examining specific categories of monsters as well as assessing the role, function and consequences of persons, actions or events identified as ‘monstrous’. The history and contemporary cultural influences of monsters and monstrous metaphors are also examined. We base our analysis and work on historical archives, documents, active field research and testimonies rather than “word of mouth” stories.”
