This book finds the most horrible and deadly monsters in the world and investigates where they come from, their special powers and nasty habits. Among fire-breathing dragons and beautiful but destructive mermaids, you will discover real-life creatures, too, and look at the scientific evidence for monsters that may or may not exist, such as the Himalayan yeti and the Loch Ness Monster. To get you right into the spirit of things, there are step-by-step instructions on how to make monster models, masks and costumes, plus a recipe for keeping vampires at bay!
