Unleash your imagination with this rare guide packed full of freaky facts, spine-tingling stats, and wild illustrations of creatures of legend—all gathered by the lost souls who quested for this forbidden knowledge! Perfect for readers who dare to face the dark (with a flashlight and a snack).

Creep through the shadows. Listen for the scratching. Something is out there—and it knows you’re reading this book.

The Monster Manual is not a bedtime story. It’s a field guide to the beasts that slither, skulk, and stalk when the lights go out. Collected by vanished monster-hunters and forbidden to be printed—until now—these pages contain the truth grown-ups won’t admit: monsters are real.

From vampires and goblins to witches and werewolves, this creep-tacular book serves as a guide to the history of monsters and offers information on how/where to find these mythical beings, as well as descriptions and tales of human contact with them over time. Complete with interactive elements like quizzes ("What’s Your Monster Personality?"), activities/crafts (brew a witch’s potion), and survival warnings from those who dared to hunt these creatures down, this compendium is your only hope—should you find yourself face-to-face with something that should not exist.
