Monster Bones, edited by Stephanie Ellis


About the Book:

Since time immemorial, humans have feared monsters. Whether they be real or imagined, stories of their existence have been told and retold, becoming either legend or urban myth.

Within the pages of Monster Bones are to be found the horrors that haunt us: the evil spirit, the revenant, the occult—creatures of different cultures who know no borders—as well as
the monster made within ourselves. The rusalka who lurks in the water, the ghûl lurking in the graveyard, the cannibal skeleton, the geung-si, the anchimayen... the human. These are
the monsters who seek to feed on us, suck the marrow from light and life. 

But you can arm yourself against them, read their stories and learn from those who have gone before. You never know, it might save you one day. So, crack the spine, turn the page and dig in to Monster Bones...
