Dom Joly sets off round the world again - this time, however, he's not looking to holiday in a danger zone; he's off monster-hunting. Ever since he was given a copy of Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World for his ninth birthday, Dom has been obsessed with the world of cryptozoology (monster-hunting), and in Scary Monsters and Supercreeps he heads to four completely different destinations to investigate local monster sightings. He explores the 'Redwood Curtain' in northern California in search of Sasquatch, where he takes a course in Sasquatology at the local university; treks across the Himalayas and joins a Yeti expedition in Bhutan; in Uzbekistan he searches for the Almas, the hairy beast of legend who kidnaps children; and in the forests of Mount Hima in Japan where Hibagon roams he enlists the help of a local man to find the Godzilla-look-alike. In his typical hilarious and irreverent fashion, Dom explores the cultures that gave rise to these monster myths and ends up in some pretty hairy situations, with people even stranger than the monsters they are hunting. Are the monsters all the product of fevered minds, or is there a sliver of truth somewhere in the madness? Either way, it gives Dom an excuse to dive into four fascinating destinations on a gloriously nutty adventure.
