One part nightmare, one part imagination, and one part legend, the creatures featured in this book are the ultimate bad guys—the subjects of myths and tales told for thousands of years. While other people may not believe in vampires, elves or werewolves, there's just something about these strange creatures that rings true.

Join renowned illustrator and designer Bob Berry as he guides you through an illustrated labyrinth of monstrous, magical, and mythological characters.

Aspiring fantasy artists will find inspiration on every page. Additionally, character history, folklore, legends, fun facts, and trivia-driven sidebars add to this fantastic experience.
