The Baen Big Book of Monsters

SIZE MATTERS! From the dragons of legend to Jack the Giant Killer’s colleague to King Kong and Godzilla, people have found the idea of giant creatures both scary and fascinating. Why so many should find accounts of a critter big enough to gulp down a puny human like an insignificantly small hor d’oeuvre or step on said human and leave a grease spot might be explained by the psychologists, but such yarns are undeniable fun, and here’s a book crammed full of things that you can’t outrun because they take big steps, by writers with equally large reputations, including Arthur C. Clark, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Bloch, David Drake, Larry Correia, Wen Spencer, and Sarah A. Hoyt.
