Take a tour of the world's most unusual monsters in this darkly humorous collection of creatures from throughout folkloric history. Illustrator Emma SanCartier captures the bizarre and hilarious elements of seventeen monsters from around in the world in a light, tongue-in-cheek tone, from the Japanese dream-eater Baku to the Persian carnivorous unicorn Shadhavar to the Eastern-European Shurale, a literal tickle monster. Each creature has its strangest aspect, from eating dreams to flinging flying fish at its victims, detailed with a turn-of-thepage humour and a light tongue-in-cheek tone, to create an engaging, educational, and funny read, perfect for fans of creatures, cryptids, and things that go bump in the night.
