Sure to appeal to monster enthusiasts, X-philes, Buffy fans and anyone who loves all things fun and scary, this book offers a campy, yet informative look at the legendary monsters of North America. The guide features more than 100 monsters (in original pen and ink illustrations) reported to inhabit the continent cataloged geographically, giving the book a "bird-watching guide" look and feel. Fun introductory chapters offer an introduction to "monster spotting," as well as information on the different categories of monsters (hairy monsters, flying monsters, lake monsters, etc.). With a monster glossary, a guide to monster carcasses, a remedial course in common monster knowledge and a few other fun appendices, this book is the perfect guide for anyone who might want to make the search for the existence of monsters a recreational hobby (or for anyone who simply likes monsters).
