This beautifully illustrated book offers scary legends and folklore from Canada to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, including Native American tales, settlers' stories and African-American legends, as well as ghost stories and modern tales of cryptids and aliens and a few urban legends.
Expect slimy, web-handed creatures, malevolent ghosts of the hanged, spectral woodland moose, man-bats that hunt in packs, and many more.
Author and illustrator Mike Bass grew up in a house with spirits and has always been fascinated by myths, folklore and the supernatural. He is a printmaker, folklorist and storyteller who loves hearing a good tale as much as telling one. In his art, he combines ink and pencil drawings with printed textures to create minimally layered illustrations with rough lines and simple and opaque palettes that works well with the folkloric subjects.
