    About this ebook

    “A humorous—and richly illustrated—book full of quirky monsters. SanCartier’s creatures are somehow both cute and terrifying.” —USA Today
     
    Meet the world’s most unusual monsters in this darkly funny collection of creatures and cryptids from folkloric history. Illustrator Emma SanCartier captures the bizarre and hilarious elements of seventeen monsters from around the world in a light, tongue-in-cheek tone, from the Japanese dream-eater Baku and the Persian carnivorous unicorn Shadhavar to the Eastern European Shurale, a literal tickle monster. Illustrated in lush watercolor, Monsters You Should Know is a perfect primer for the many strange, frightening, and compelling things that go bump in the night.
     
    “An important book on monsters you should know about, mostly because it turns out they’re really cute.” —Buzzfeed
