Synopsis "Monsters: An Investigator's Guide to Magical Beings Third Edition - Revised and Expanded"

An Investigator's Guide to Magical Beings that takes you on a harrowing journey into the realm of monsters and the reality of the impossible. Monsters brings together folklore, Western magical philosophy and field experience. This book is required reading for both active and armchair monster hunters. Between these covers you will find a chilling collection of fiendish facts and folklore such as why true vampires are the least attractive, five different kinds of ghosts, the magical origins of the werewolf legends, hidden connections between faery lore and UFOs, and where dragons are found today. This is an essential field guide to monsters from angels to zombies with advice on monster investigation and magical self-defence. This latest edition not only has a new chapter on tulpas, but the chapters on vampires and chimeras are significantly expanded with new material. Plus, the section on monster investigation has been thoroughly updated with details on new technology and the approach of the media to monster hunting.

Nacido en el austero pueblo naval de Bremerton, Washington, y criado en los suburbios del sur de Seattle, comencé a escribir casi en cuanto aprendí a sostener un lápiz. La máxima del editor de ciencia ficción George Scithers, que decía que todos los aspirantes a escritores tienen un millón de palabras de mala prosa y que tienen que escribirla, resume bastante bien las dos décadas transcurridas entre mi primer intento serio de escribir un libro y mi primer libro publicado, "Senderos de Sabiduría", publicado en 1996. Actualmente vivo en Cumberland, Maryland, con mi esposa Sara; soy presidente —Gran Archidruida es el título oficial— de la Antigua Orden de Druidas de América (AODA), una orden druida fundada en 1912; y escribo en media docena de campos de no ficción, casi todos centrados en el resurgimiento de ideas, perspectivas y tradiciones prácticas olvidadas del basurero de la historia.
