Cleo nunca imaginó viajar a un futuro con gatos parlantes, momias robot, esfinges voladoras y… ¿deberes de mates?
CLEO (sí, la famosa Cleopatra) es transportada a un remotísimo futuro y descubre una antigua profecia según la cual está destinada a salvar la galaxia de la tiranía de Xayo Octaviano.

Big Head Todd and The Monsters have persisted as a rare force of nature in rock 'n' roll. The platinum-selling Colorado quartet-Todd Park Mohr [vocals, guitar, keys, sax, harmonica], Brian Nevin [drums, percussion], Rob Squires [bass, vocals], and Jeremy Lawton [guitar, keys, vocals, steel guitar]-have consistently churned out undeniable and often uplifting anthems fueled by a hybrid of no-nonsense hard rock, simmering soul, dyed-in-the-wool blues, and a twist of country. Akin to your favorite classic automobile, their influence and imprint only widen over time, selling out even bigger venues and enrapturing new eras of fans with every passing year.

¿No te has preguntado qué hacen los monstruos slasher (la familia enmascarada que invade el hogar, el monstruo imposible de matar, el asesino en serie atrapado en una muñeca) durante ese par de años entre sus brotes asesinos? Pues están en Wilmhurst, una comunidad cerrada en medio de la nada donde se relajan, o lo intentan, hasta que reciben la llamada para salir y matar de nuevo.

Hailed as "a feast" (Washington Post) and "a modern-day bestiary" (The New Yorker), Stephen Asma's On Monsters is a wide-ranging cultural and conceptual history of monsters—how they have evolved over time, what functions they have served for us, and what shapes they are likely to take in the future. Beginning at the time of Alexander the Great, the monsters come fast and furious—Behemoth and Leviathan, Gog and Magog, Satan and his demons, Grendel and Frankenstein, circus freaks and headless children, right up to the serial killers and terrorists of today and the post-human cyborgs of tomorrow.
