Eerie Legends: An Illustrated Exploration of Creepy Creatures, the Paranormal, and Folklore from around the World by Richardo Diseño (Illustrator) and Steve Mockus (Text By)

From banshee to zombi, the team of Richardo Diseño (Illustrator) and Steve Mockus (Text By) built a surreal guide to cryptids, paranormal beings, haunted locales, and folkloric figures. Each exquisite creature or location's entry features a short introduction, then some background broken up with an ecclectic and electrifying art piece of the discussed being or place, and a piece of fiction featuring the being or place. This combination allows for readers to dip their toe, explore the history and/or "evidence," take in immensely incredible art that will fire up their imaginations, and then further explore their imaginings with a story. 

Eerie Legends: An Illustrated Exploration of Creepy Creatures, the Paranormal, and Folklore from around the World offers a variety of legends from around the world, kinds of legends, and ages of the legends--including ones that only came into being during the digital world. This means that, most likely, readers will encounter both something familiar and something new in their reading of this wonderfully eerie book.
