This book explores ways in which common metaphors can play a detrimental role in everyday life  how they can grow in outsized importance to dominate their respective terrains and push out alternative perspectives  and how forms of resistance might act to contain their dominance.
The volume begins by unpacking the dynamics of metaphors, their power and influence and the ways in which they are bolstered by other rhetorical devices. Adams draws on four case studies to illustrate their destructive impact when they eclipse other points of viewthe metaphor of mental illness  the metaphor of free-flowing markets  the metaphor of the mind as a mirror and the metaphor of men as naturally superior. Taken together, these examples prompt further reflection on the beneficiaries of these "monster metaphors" and how they promote such metaphors to serve their own interests but also on ways forward for challenging their dominance, strategies for preventing their rise and ways of creating space for alternatives.
