In this petrifying book, you will find:
- A complete global history of the subject – from ancient visions of the Underworld and horror in fairytales to Gothic horror and “creepypasta” tales
- More than 350 stunning full-colour images combined with engaging and accessible text
- Profiles of infamous supernatural creatures – from ghosts and demons to banshees and changelings, and from Grendel to Baba Yaga and the Morrigan to the Golem

in a stunning, giftable package with a specially commissioned cover artwork and gorily printed page edges.
Discover how our experience and understanding of fear and terror have evolved through the ages, beginning with the ancient visions of a hellish Underworld. Encounter terrifying figures like Medusa and the Babylonian demon Pazuzu. And tread carefully through the medieval world, where a fear of the unknown stoked apocalyptic terror around the Black Death and gave rise to the danse macabre and the demonology of the Malleus Maleficarum.
