For centuries, sightings have been made of huge, marauding monsters swimming the world's oceans and lakes. They include Scotland's legendary Loch Ness Monster; the United States' equivalent, Champ, of Lake Champlain; and Canada's long-necked denizen of the deep known as Ogopogo. These, and many more, famous monsters of the world below us also include giant squid, massive octopi, and even the fabled Kraken and the fabled mermaids of millennia long-gone. Possibly, too, there survive populations of marine reptiles that were assumed to have gone extinct millions of years ago, in the Jurassic period, such as the plesiosaur. <p> Whether scaly or slithery, massive prehistoric dinosaurs or mutant serpents, <b><i>Monsters of the Deep</b></i> catalogs nearly 100 accounts of eels, alligators, reptiles, giant squids, snakes, worms, deadly fish, and cold-blooded creatures of all manner and ilk.
