What is a monologue? Well, it is a story told from just one person's point of view. It helps us understand them and get right into their very soul and thoughts. Even Shakespeare wrote in monologues!So , it's the perfect way to get to know all those horrific creatures who only come out in the dead of night or once a year at Halloween, to hear from the creatures that live in crypts and cupboards and under beds. We can get to know the ghouls and ghosties, monsters and meanies, biters and fliers ...Because they can't be all bad ...Can they?It's finally time to hear the first-hand, real story of five famous stars of Halloween: a werewolf; Dracula; Frankenstein's monster; the Mummy; and a witch! And we find out what their lives are really like.Think it's all blood, guts and gore? Well, sometimes, when they're not taking care of the kids, doing the school run or picking up the weekly shop! These five monologues are told from the point of view of these classic horror creatures, taking a genre that you think you know well and twisting it into interesting, new shapes!All the stories have the same opening line ("So, you think it's easy being me?") but go in strange and unusual directions, keeping you smiling and interested along the way.But don't just take my word for it - let's hear it from the creatures themselves!

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
