Would Count Dracula stand a chance against Vlad Dracula? How is an apparition different from a poltergeist? Do some people really have psychic powers? What the heck is that thing?
Joshua Gee, Chief Investigator of the Unexplained, tackles the big (weird) questions in Encyclopedia Horrifica: The Terrifying TRUTH! About Vampires, Ghosts, Monsters and More. Hacked into four sections, the Encyclopedia takes an in-depth look at an array of oddities including monsters; ghosts; aliens; superstitions; ESP; and president of the chess club himself, the Grim Reaper. Historical facts and scientific information are presented in bite-sized morsels that young goblins can sink their teeth into, while the subject matter is interesting enough to hold Mummy’s attention. Included among the articles and photos are interviews with a ghost hunter; Q&A with a former “psychic spy”; Zener flash cards; and a mystery for only the bravest readers to solve.
Encyclopedia Horrifica is the perfect treat for the gremlin who has everything. With 130+ pages it provides a toothsome read that will keep ’em turning pages long after All Souls Day. So clear out the piles of pumpkin guts, pick up Encyclopedia Horrifica and be an enlightened soul – if you dare. Oh… So that’s what that thing is (you‘ll have to read the book… mwhahahaa).
