I just finished Medusa's Gaze and Vampire's Bite: The Science of Monsters by Matt Kaplan. I listened to an interview with this author on NPR in October and ordered the book. I finally got to it in the pile last weekend and I loved it. Kaplan takes a look at the history of monsters and what social or scientific themes may have led to their creation. It's interesting, well researched, and wittily written.
