On the outer edge of maps, beyond the known world, cartographers use the phrase “Here be monsters” to indicate hidden dangers. A simple phrase that both warned and inspired potential explorers. Humanity now inhabits those areas that were once the outer realms. Lights have been shown into the dark corners. However, those hidden dangers still exist on the outer periphery of our consciousness. It is no longer the job of cartographers but authors like Gregory Frost to warn us Beyond Here Be Monsters.

Beyond Here Be Monsters is a collection of fourteen short fictions by Gregory Frost. Each tale is set in another time and place; all the stories are meant to drive chills up your spine. Frost introduces the reader to many things that go bump in the night, from vampires to werewolves to shape-shifters and many more. Much of this book reads like a devotion or fan fiction to many classic horror writers. None of the creatures are new, but it takes a mind like Frost’s to give these monsters new life. Just be warned, that new life might be yours.
