Monstrous Tales
Stories of Strange Creatures and Fearsome Beasts from around the World
Instead of focusing on the folklore of one culture, this volume collects stories from around the world around one theme. Twenty-four creepy, crawly, and thrilling tales illuminate the diversity?and surprising similarities?of monster stories from Japan to Nigeria and Ireland to Guyana. Each one is paired with a lush illustration from contemporary Chinese-born and NYC-based artist Sija Hong.
