Description

For centuries, folk tales about vampires, werewolves, zombies and other undead creatures have captivated and spooked children. There are some monsters that we just love to be scared by. Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies collects 44 of the scariest mythical and real characters from American, European, African, Chinese and Arabian folklore, history and the movies. Ranging from such well-known literary examples as Bram Stoker's Dracula, to historical cases, such as the mythical Chinese Jiang Shi, and Vulkodlak, a Slavic werewolf, Vampires, Werewolves & Zombies brings together the most exciting and ghoulish of these ghastly characters.
