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.

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.
