THEY BITE!: Endless Cravings of Supernatural Predators
From the shadowy worlds of myth and legend...From the pages of bestsellers and the silver screen... They're searching for you. And they're hungry.
Every culture and country has its demons-and since earliest times we've tried to capture these supernatural predators through the power of storytelling. But they refuse to be tamed...
Join Bram Stoker Award winners Maberry and Kramer on a chilling journey into the nature of the beast. This compendium of creepy creatures tracks the monsters of our imagination from the whispered fireside tales of old to the books, comics, and films that keep us shivering on the edges of our seats with delight and fascination.
Biting commentaries by the modern masters of the macabre – John Carpenter, Peter Straub, Jack Ketchum, Holly Black, Kevin J. Anderson, Ray Garton, Ramsey Campbell, Christopher Golden, Kelley Armstrong, Simon Clark, Herschell Gordon Lewis, and dozens of others – help make this the ultimate guidebook to the horrific roots and modern-day expressions of our darkest fears.
With 8 pages of color illustrations by leading artists of the supernatural.
