Published: March 9, 2022, 5:36 p.m.

What is a monster? The Oxford Languages dictionary defines a monster as \u201can imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening.\u201d\n
\n\nWhich is also what makes monsters fascinating, right? Their frightening aspect.\xa0
\n
\nBut also the fact that they may not be imaginary after all. They may actually be real.
