Our world is a strange place. This haunting book peers into the dark spaces that lie somewhere between belief and imagination, and into the weird stories we tell to make sense of where and who we are. Here are tales of vengeful ghosts, bloodthirsty monsters, internet-conjured nightmares, lost souls, cryptid curiosities, demons, aliens, the undead, and the inexplicable, including: Enfield Poltergeist; Jersey Devil; Mothman; Krampus; El Silbon; Betty and Barney Hill Abduction; Headless Horseman; Skunk Ape; Onryo; Loab; Isla de las Muñecas; Slender Man; La Llorona; Loch Ness Monster; And many more . . .

FEARFUL WONDERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD: Stalking this book are Brazilian sleep paralysis ghouls, Japanese spider-women, a shape-shifting Slavic forest guardian, and creepy North American cryptids. Pay a visit to Madagascar's human-eating tree, the Mexican island of haunted dolls, a ghost-cursed California mansion, and the spooky darkness of the tombs beneath the streets of Paris.

FAVORITES OLD AND NEW: Including the first reported alien abduction (and the root of the alien "greys") as well as the first phantom believed to be conjured by AI, this collection brings horror, occult, and classic campfire story vibes in equal measure. Entries end with a shock-fiction encounter with the monster itself or a tale told from its perspective.
