Beyond the grave / Cox, Barbara G.

Presents brief portraits of the characteristics of common monsters found at Halloween, discussing things like ghouls, ghosts, zombies, demons, and vampires, along with a number of scary creatures from different world mythologies.

"Ghoulish beings are just waiting to pop out of this book, which is chock full of tales of demons, headless horsemen, and more. With zombies becoming increasingly popular on TV and at the movies, readers will learn about the origin of the "undead." And since many fantasy creatures come from mythologies around the world, this book, with its illustrations and photographs, is an exploration of various cultures as well as the just plain spooky!"--Publisher.
