Dom Joly sets off round the world but this time hes not looking to holiday in a danger zone hes monster hunting
Ever since he was given a copy of Arthur C Clarkes Mysterious World for his ninth birthday Dom has been obsessed with the world of cryptozoology monster hunting and in Scary Monsters and Super Creeps he heads to six completely different destinations to investigate local monster sightings
He explores the Redwood Curtain in northern California in search of Sasquatch in Canada he visits Lake Okanagan hoping to catch a glimpse of a thirtyfoot snakelike creature called Ogopogo and near Lake Tele in Congo he risks his life tracking the vegetarian sauropod Mokelembembe Naturally he heads to Loch Ness but for this hunt he has his family in tow he treks across the Khumbu Valley in Nepal looking for Yeti and in the hills above Hiroshima in Japan he enlists the help of a local man to find the Hibagon a terribly smelly caveman ape
Are the monsters all the product of fevered minds or is there a sliver of truth somewhere in the madness Either way the search gives Dom an excuse to dive into six fascinating destinations on a gloriously nutty adventure In typically hilarious and irreverent fashion Dom explores the cultures that gave rise to these monster myths and ends up in some pretty hairy situations with people even stranger than the monsters they are hunting
