My Storybook project is centered around telling the stories of different creatures that have ingrained themselves into the horror stories of America. Stories of monsters like Bigfoot, Mothman, the Jersey Devil, the Wendigo, and the Chupacabra are all legendary in their different areas of the country and have heavily influenced local cultures.
I will be using Wikipedia based sources for many of these creatures, as well as information from select research societies based around specific creatures, such as the Bigfoot Field Researchers' Organization and the Mothman Museum and Research Center. These may not provide sound scientific evidence for the existence of these creatures, but they do provide key cultural and historical information about the legends of the monsters.
I'm playing around with the idea of making this project a Twine-based, choose your own adventure horror audiobook, set in a strange zoo that houses these creatures. I want the reader to feel involved and allow for the reader to have a great deal of agency in how the story plays out and in which creatures they would like to learn the most about.
Mainly, I want to entertain and educate my readers through the experience of this storybook, and learn more about how these creatures and their behaviors reflect the cultural landscape of the area/time that they were created in.
