There are a few sites that I find handy for research purposes. Monstrous is one of them. If you want to know about fairies, they’ve got it. If you want to know about zombies, they’ve got that too. Actually they have got quite a lot of information about quite a lot of things. I had never even heard about a Death Worm. I have now. The same goes for the Mokele Mbeme. The Mokele Mbeme is one big and ugly dude – it is about the size of an elephant – but don’t worry, although it might kill you it wont eat you, because it’s a herbivore. So there’s a comforting thought.
Anyway, for a writer, this site is quite a useful starting point for research, or maybe even as a source for ideas. If you just like reading about the weird and unusual, though, I dare say that you still might find this site pretty Monstrous.

Lots of coming and going yesterday. I got two pieces rejected (ouch!), but sent four others out, along with a bat’s wing and a prayer and a cover letter.
