The World of Lore: Monstrous Creatures by Aaron Mahnke

dark informative fast-paced

'Death, though, is a reality for all of us, whether we like it or not. Whether we’re young or old, rich or poor, healthy or sick, life is one long journey down a road, and we walk until it’s over. Some think they see light at the end of it all, while others hope for darkness. And that’s where the mystery of it all comes in. No one knows what’s on the other side; we just know that the proverbial walk ends at some point.'

An interesting exploration of folklore and tales of which the vampire and ghost sections were my favourite. 

The historicity comes in to question as some sources are quite dubious e.g. random blog posts. However, it is still enjoyable enough. 

The book heavily overlaps with the podcast which is great for those who have never listened to it.
