520 8  Monsters have taken many forms across time and cultures, 
       yet within these variations, monsters often evoke the same
       paradoxical response: disgust and desire. We 
       simultaneously fear monsters and take pleasure in seeing 
       them, and their role in human culture helps to explain 
       this apparent contradiction. Monsters are created in order
       to delineate where the acceptable boundaries of action and
       emotion exist. However, while killing the monster allows 
       us to cast out socially unacceptable desires, the 
       prevalence of monsters in both history and fiction reveals
       humanity's desire to see and experience the forbidden. We 
       seek, write about, and display monsters as both a warning 
       and wish fulfilment, and monsters, therefore, reveal that 
       the line between desire and disgust is often thin. Looking
       across genres, subjects, and periods, this book examines 
       what our conflicted reaction to the monster tells us about
       human culture.
