Since ancient times, night has been considered a refuge for predators, criminals, and demonic forces, a time of extreme human vulnerability and the sleep of the mind, which is known to give birth to monsters.
This is not just an encyclopedia of nightmares—this vibrant book will lead you along the darkest paths of world mythology, where our most ancient and enduring fears come to life. Along the way, you will encounter various denizens of the night: Hecate, the goddess of darkness and sorcery, and the sinister ghostly cavalcade of the Wild Hunt, Chinese jiangshi zombies and vengeful Japanese yurei ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and cemetery doppelgangers. You will learn who medieval demonologists blamed for the birth of tyrant rulers, what night ghost inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write "The Hound of the Baskervilles," and what happened in the Serbian village of Kisilevo, where a real vampire hysteria broke out in the 18th century.
