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 Silbón
Betty and Barney Hill Abduction
Headless Horseman
Skunk Ape
Onryō
Loab
Isla de las Muñecas
Slender Man
La Llorona
Loch Ness Monster
And many more...
Acclaimed artist Ricardo Diseño 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.
