Synopsis

From the shadowy worlds of myth and legend. . .From the pages of bestsellers and the silver screen. . . They're searching for you. And they're hungry.

Every culture and country has its demons--and since earliest times we've tried to capture these supernatural predators through the power of storytelling. But they refuse to be tamed. . .

Join Bram Stoker Award winners Maberry and Kramer on a chilling journey into the nature of the beast. This compendium of creepy creatures tracks the monsters of our imagination from the whispered fireside tales of old to the books, comics, and films that keep us shivering on the edges of our seats with delight and fascination.

Biting commentaries by the modern masters of the macabre--John Carpenter, Peter Straub, Jack Ketchum, Holly Black, Kevin J. Anderson, Ray Garton, Ramsey Campbell, Christopher Golden, Kelley Armstrong, Simon Clark, Herschell Gordon Lewis, and dozens of others--help make this the ultimate guidebook to the horrific roots and modern-day expressions of our darkest fears.

With 8 pages of color illustrations by leading artists of the supernatural

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Accounts of supernatural predators date back to the earliest written histories - and the beliefs are global. Bram Stoker Award-winning authors Jonathan Maberry and David F. Kramer go beyond the folklore to show how and why supernatural predators have become pop culture stars. They Bite presents the myths in full detail along with provocative explorations of theories of why beliefs in vampires and other monsters hav developed and endured. Featured are biting commentaries by modern masters of the macabre like John Carpenter, Peter Straub and Jack Ketchum.
