AlphaBeasties

by Cole S Foster

Why are there so many "lake monsters?" What distinguishes a revanent from a zombie? What is the earliest werewolf myth? In AlphaBeasties, I go through the alphabet and with each letter, tell you a story of a different creature. Along with the story, I go into how these stories impact culture, and how culture impacted the stories. Tune in biweekly for a new beastie! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
