A lot of my books have monsters in them. And the reason for this is very complicated but also very clear. First of all, within traditional stories we often tell scary stories even to little children. The reasons are this: one, it reminds them life is dangerous. Two, it reminds them they may often be on their own and have to make life or death decision. Three, if they’ve listened well to traditional story, listen to the teaching of their elders, they may overcome or even escape or even destroy a monster. And fourth, if they don’t do the right thing, the monster gets you. And I think those are teachings we all need in the modern world.
