Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies Giveaway!



The situation is grave. Vampires are vamping. Werewolves are shape shifting. And zombies are lurching into the garden. Is this modern-day ferment of paranormal activity, ah, normal? Learn all about it in this nifty new pocket guide to man's best fiends: VAMPIRES, WEREWOLVES, ZOMBIES: Compendium Monstrum. Collected from the papers of 19th-century monstrologists Herr Doktor Max Sturm & Baron Ludwig Von Drang, this intriguing book includes "notes and sketches," arranged with some updating, plus a Transylvania travel section, fold-out maps, and "Sightings Record Pages," so you can record your own encounters. Don't be caught dead without it!

Fascinating facts revealed in the book include documented "sparkling vampires" in 19th-century folklore (page 26), why wolfsbane is sometimes known as "Dumbledore s Delight" (page 92), and much more.

Illustrator Bruce Waldman is an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. His works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, and The Royal Collection in London. Illustrations and additional historical images throughout.

4 fold-out maps and additional in-text maps. Foil-enhanced hardcover book with red ribbon marker is perfect for gift-giving. Pocket-sized: 4-1/4 inches x 5-3/4 inches.

Greetings zombie horde. Not that I am in any rush for some zombie hunter to come knocking on MY door, but there are just some zombies out there with no manners at all that may need some kind of instruction. This book is great for those moments in a dark Carpathian forest when you forgot your garlic and are wondering what to do next.
