Book Details

A fascinating and frightening collection of folk tale monsters, ghosts, and other scary things that dwell in the dark. Our world is a strange place. This hauntingly illustrated book peers into the dark spaces that lie somewhere between belief and imagination, and into the weird stories we tell to make sense of where and who we are. Here are tales of vengeful ghosts, bloodthirsty monsters, internet-conjured nightmares, lost souls, cryptid curiosities, demons, aliens, the undead, and the inexplicable, including: Enfield Poltergeist Jersey Devil Mothman Krampus El SilbA³n Betty and Barney Hill Abduction Headless Horseman Skunk Ape Onryo Loab Isla de las MuAecas Slender Man La Llorona Loch Ness Monster And many more… Acclaimed artist Ricardo DiseAo brings a lifelong fascination with eerie folklore to electrify the artwork depicting each spooky subject, accompanied by evocative descriptions and history and a flash-fiction story in which readers encounter the dark presences themselves. FEARFUL WONDERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD: Stalking these pages are Brazilian sleep paralysis ghouls, Japanese spider-women, a shape-shifting Slavic forest guardian, and creepy North American cryptids. Pay a visit to Madagascar’s human-eating tree, the Mexican island of haunted dolls, a ghost-cursed California mansion, and the spooky darkness of the tombs beneath the streets of Paris.
