Here there be monsters.
This handsome hardback, sub-titled 'Sirens, Selkies and Ghost Ships', contains a compelling collection of aquatic and maritime superstitions and legends from across the world.
Here you'll find shape-shifting pink dolphins, vengeful drowned sailors, the fabled Fountain of Youth, and much, much more watery weirdness besides.
Fearless leaders behind the #folklorethursday Twitter hashtag day, Dee Dee Chainey and Willow Winsham know their folk onions (which are probably poisonous and to be buried in a garden) and have compiled a stunning volume of stories to thrill and chill.
