Just for the heck of it, last night I started to talk about mythic creatures on twitter. It was a lot of fun.

So I think for simplicity, Every Tuesday from 6:30 pm EST to 7:30 pm EST I will host a chat, all about one of my favorite subjects, monsters.
So coming up, as of right now, anyway:

March 08: Medusa and the Harionago
March 15: Irish Beasties (Banshee, Leprechaun)
March 22: Dragons (East vs West)
March 29: Centaurs, Satyrs, and other half humans.
April 05: Wendigo and other devourers.
April 12: Shapechangers
April 19: Phoenix and other creatures that are reborn
April 26: The deep downs (trolls, dwarves, etc)
May 03: Hispanic monsters (La Llorona, chupacabra)
May 10: The Fearsome Critters: American folklore (Jackalopes, Hodags, Agropelters)
May 17: Stone based: (Gargoyles, Golems)
