Kaplan uses modern science to speculate about how various mythical monsters, such as the chimera, Medusa, vampires, werewolves, and even Jaws came about, and why they appeared when they did. Some of his speculations are a bit of a stretch, but the science is sound, and quite interesting. His writing style is a bit childish at times, but the book is thought-provoking and unique.
