House of Monsters
Since the dawn of recorded history humankind has depicted images, and told stories, of Monsters. Inconceivable beings possessing impossible abilities, which are inseparable from both our history and ourselves. Welcome to a place where the lines between fact and mythology become difficult to see. Where creatures we don’t dare believe in make appearances in the real world, and where our ideas about what is real and what is imagined are put to the test. Welcome to the House of Monsters. Hosted, written and produced by Aaron Deese. Presented by the Small Town Monsters Broadcasting Network.
