Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

A list of the 10 greatest villains in all of literature – the most memorable bad-guys of the fictive world .
This blood-sucking, seductive vampire is sinister and cruel. He will stop at nothing to gain what he desires: blood. He leaves scarcely inhabited Transylvania and heads to England, a place that is “teeming millions” – the better to be able to live off of human blood. Highly intelligent, ruthless, and scornful, Count Dracula has collected and aristocratic manners. His mood shifts are sudden and unpredictable. This vampire is not a character you would want to meet in a lonely alley.
