The Undead

HUNGRY FOR BLOOD AND VITALITY, THE UNDEAD RISE FROM THEIR GRAVES.

All over the world, there are stories of the dead that spread terror and terror among the living.

This gorgeously illustrated book by Johan Egerkrans portrays undead from around the world in all their ghastly glory. The list of the undead creatures featured is long and varied - including among many others the Viking Draugr, the beautiful Japanese Snow woman, the Indian Vetala who haunts graveyards, the Scottish water spirit Glaistig, Filipino vampirechildren, Haitian blood sucking witches, Arabic demon deatheaters, and the Japanese hunger ghost Gakin who eats feces.

There are around 40 different creatures in all, each one more terrifying than the last. Fortunately, we not only learn about the ways in which they emerge but also how to protect ourselves from their powers.

Perfect for fans of mythology, horror, and dark fantasy illustration. This is Johan Egerkrans at his very best: vile vampires in an equally horrid and beautiful take. The darker setting aside, his unique style made famous in Vaesen and Nordic Gods is ever present.
