Hey, everyone!
This is a question for my latest novel. It's fantasy (as I've found most of mine are) and although I love all the races you find in books by J. R. R. Tolkien, Christopher Paolini, Robin Hobb and all the others, it still gets me that most of the 'evil' races, the ones with the monsters, are usually the same or very similar.
So. What scares you? It doesn't have to be a ready made monster, but features of a monster. Furry skin? Lots of legs? Many eyes?
Has there ever been a monster that's given you nightmares and had you cowering behind a sofa? If so, why? Or don't you know? Is it that innate fear that has you shivering for absolutely no reason at all, that clutches your heart and places ice in your stomach?
I don't like hairy spiders. I don't like giant insects. And I definitely don't like large stingers (Shelob, anyone, from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King?). Now it's your turn.
Thanks in advance,
Cosby
