Excellent collection of supernatural monsters, creatures, and beasts from classic literature. Many are lesser known to younger horror readers. Each is presented with suggestions for further readings featuring similar characters. Highly recommended!

Some of the illustrations looked like Mike Mignola drawings. Would have loved to have this as a kid/teen.

The Big Book of Monsters is a fantastic book! Monsters from all over the world. Monsters I grew up fearing and monsters I have never heard of.

The information and extra tidbits on each monster was very interesting to read and the illustrations were vivid and popping. I loved the style of artwork throughout this book.

I would love to have an entire collection of informative books like this on my shelves. Fun to look at and interesting to read.

Adorable and enjoyable. Ideal birthday gift for a kid who loves monster and maybe for one who needs to make friends with them.


Thank you to Netgalley for the free arc in exchange for an honest review.

Amazing summaries of classic monster stories and tales with lots of other information historical and on authors etc. The illustrations are graphic and spooky with lots of dark colors
