Twenty-three years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a demonic supernatural force. Following the tragedy, their father set out to teach the boys everything about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners of America...and how to kill it. This unique illustrated compilation of all of Sam and Dean's demon-busting knowledge contains detailed descriptions of more than two-dozen otherworldly enemies, from vampires, to ghosts, revenants, reapers, and even bloody clowns. Interwoven with sections of John Winchester's invaluable journal, this is the perfect companion to every thrilling episode - and an essential weapon in the secret war against the hidden creatures of darkness! / The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons and Ghouls is a compendium that catalogs a wide range of creatures from horror folklore and supernatural myth: ghosts, demons, vampires, revenants, ghouls, reapers and other dark beings. Through narrative-style entries, styled as notes and journal entries from the protagonists of the fictional univers, readers get descriptions of each creature's origins, behaviour patterns, strengths, weaknesses and how to recognise or combat them. The book serves both as a 'guidebook' within the fictional mythology and as a horror-reference for folklore and supernatural entities: bridging popular culture, horror fiction and traditional mythologies, making it appealing for fans of the supernatural as well as readers interested in myth, legend, and ghost stories.
