“Monsters: An Investigator’s Guide to Magical Beings” by John Michael Greer (10th anniversary edition)

"Of course that monster hiding under your bed when you were little didn't really exist. Vampires, werewolves, zombies, demons―they're simply figments of our imagination, right? After all, their existence has never been scientifically proven. But there is one giant problem with such an easy dismissal of these creepy creatures: people keep encountering them.

Join occult scholar John Michael Greer for a harrowing journey into the reality of the impossible. Combining folklore, Western magical philosophy, and actual field experience, Monsters: An Investigator's Guide to Magical Beings is required reading for both active and armchair monster hunters. Between these covers you'll find a chilling collection of fiendish facts and folklore, including:
Why true vampires are the least attractive―and most destructive―of all monsters
The five different kinds of ghosts
Magical origins of the werewolf legends
How to survive a chimera encounter (Jersey Devil, chupacabra, Mothman)
The hidden connections between faery lore and UFOs
Where dragons are found today
How to investigate a monster sighting
Natural and ritual magic techniques for dealing with hostile monsters

This 10th anniversary edition of the quintessential guide to magical beings features a new preface, new chapters on chimeras and zombies, and updates on werewolves, dragons, and the fae."
