About the book: 2021 / They live in the wilderness, live in impenetrable forests, hide under the cover of night and in the darkest corners of our minds. They exist in legends and ancestral beliefs, mentioned in stories passed down from generation to generation. But even armed with knowledge and caution, we are still vulnerable to them: werewolves and wendigos, vampires and ghosts, angry elves and vengeful spirits... Host of a popular podcast Lore monstrologist Aaron Mahnke will take you on a journey through the history of these terrifying creatures. You will visit the New Jersey wasteland, where the winged red-eyed devil lives; in dimly lit rooms where séances take place; remote European villages where gremlins run rampant, and even in a house in Key West, Florida, with mysterious dolls and ghosts. You will find out what information is officially documented and what will remain part of legends. And most importantly, you will understand who they are - real monsters or a reflection of our primitive fears?
