just a few of the dark and frightening creatures you'll discover in
Banshees, Werewolves, Vampires, and Other Creatures of the Night.

dark German forests, and along abandoned farms and country roads
across the world to discover some of the most frightening and

that go bump in the night.
Along with classic pieces from Bram Stoker, Elliot O'Donnell, Sabine BaringGould, William Butler Yeats and many others, Ventura includes:
• Famous vampires you may not know
