Description:
The Tales series has built momentum and gained a devoted readership. Monstrous Tales takes things in a fresh direction: Instead of focusing on the folklore of one culture, this volume collects stories from around the world around one theme. Twenty-four creepy, crawly, and thrilling tales illuminate the diversity – and surprising similarities – of monster stories from Japan to Nigeria and Ireland to Guyana. Each one is paired with a lush illustration from contemporary Chinese-born and NYC-based artist Sija Hong. And all these dragons and demons are presented in the same luxe format as the rest of the Tales series, complete with an embossed, textured case and a ribbon marker.
