ask the question; “Why do you enjoy a good monster story?” Is to ask why do we enjoy life itself. There are a multitude of reasons; Real life incorporation‚ Excellent characters‚ or perhaps it’s the setting that each and every story takes place‚ the setting that ties the plot‚ characters and history together.
