Encyclopedia Horrifica: Terrifying Truth About Vampires, Ghosts, Monsters, and More by Joshua Gee
rovertoak's review
4.0
This book is VERY fun! The in-your-face format of photos, illustrations, and articles about ghosts, were-people, zombies, vampires, and other legendary beasts (kracken!) combines legend with science giving readers the opportunity to ponder their own beliefs in the supernatural. "Secrets" are scattered throughout the book and the book's website offers solutions and more information to digest. Great for that reluctant young reader in your life or for any aspiring ghostbuster or vampire slayer!

A fun, funny, and highly entertaining book that gives a brief summary of various creepy and or horrific things--vampires, UFO's, zombies and the like.
As an adult, I really enjoyed reading this book, and I'm sure that it'd be a big hit at the school where I work. I think the magazine like format would encourage even the most reluctant readers and if not that, then the plethora of pictures found within the book's pages would certainly be a draw. This book is packed with amazing photos, drawings, newspaper article reproductions, etc.
