Encyclopedia of Beasts and Monsters in Myth, Legend and Folklore by Theresa Bane
Here there be dragons--this notation was often made on ancient maps to indicate the edges of the known world and what lay beyond. Heroes who ventured there were only as great as the beasts they encountered. This encyclopedia contains more than 2,200 monsters of myth and folklore, who both made life difficult for humans and fought by their side. Entries describe the appearance, behavior, and cultural origin of mythic creatures well-known and obscure, collected from traditions around the world.
“an excellent resource... Entries are clearly worded and appear well-researched and thus this book would be a good resource for those interested in world folklore, fiction writing, and gaming—ARBA.
Theresa Bane, a professional vampirologist, has appeared on numerous podcasts, television, and radio shows for her expertise on the undead and is the author of other books on unusual phenomena. She lives in Staunton, Virginia.
