The Big Book of Monsters: The Creepiest Creatures from Classic Literature

Meet the monsters in this whoâ€™s who of the baddest of the bad!

Like those supernatural beasts everyone knows and fearsâ€”the bloodsucking vampire, Count Dracula, and that eight-foot-tall mash-up of corpses, Frankensteinâ€™s Monster. Or that scariest of mummies, Cheops, who scientists revived after 4,700 yearsâ€”big mistake! Or more horrifying yet, the Horla, an invisible, havoc-wreaking creature that herds humans like cattle and feeds of their souls.
Â
Drawn from the pages of classic books and tales as old as time, this frightfully exciting collection features 25 of the creepiest creatures ever imagined, from witches and werewolves to dragons and ghosts.Â Every monster is brought to life in a full-size full-color portrait that captures the essence of the beast, and in lively text that recounts the monsterâ€™s spine-tingling story. With sidebars that explore the history and the genre of each sourcebook, The Big Book of Monsters is an exciting introduction to literature and language arts.
