Recenzii

“This collection of twelve papers is ‘the first anthropological volume bringing participant-observation-based accounts and analyses of disparate creatures together under the umbrella term monster’ … . I would describe this volume as a collection of ethnographically well-informed essays that should be of interest to anyone involved in the cross-cultural study of epistemology and ontology.” (Gregory Forth, The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology, Vol. 18 (2), February, 2017)
