abigailbat's review against another edition
3.0
In picture-filled pages, this book examines the truth (and legends) behind many kinds of supernatural beings and events. Vampires, werewolves, sea monsters, haunted houses, and many, many more. Each article reads like a magazine and the text is mostly in small chunks and accompanied by photos and illustrations. It's obviously been well-researched and finding out the facts behind the legends and the legends behind the monsters will fascinate young readers.
rovertoak's review against another edition
4.0
This book is VERY fun! The in-your-face format of photos, illustrations, and articles about ghosts, were-people, zombies, vampires, and other legendary beasts (kracken!) combines legend with science giving readers the opportunity to ponder their own beliefs in the supernatural. "Secrets" are scattered throughout the book and the book's website offers solutions and more information to digest. Great for that reluctant young reader in your life or for any aspiring ghostbuster or vampire slayer!
