It’s a monster that drinks human blood. It can turn into mist, but it can’t stand the sun. Stories of vampires have been told on every corner of the globe. Is it possible the legends are true?
"Using a few sentences per page and easy-to-follow writing, Troupe describes the origins and basic elements of each legend. Large, dynamic fonts are interspersed throughout, giving the text an extra dose of drama and excitement: “In 1957, Albert Ostman claimed he had been kidnapped by bigfoots.” Each artist’s style is pitch-perfect for the subject, from the frenetic, action-packed images in Werewolf to the shadowy, sophisticated cartoon images in Vampire. The highly stylized figures are sometimes even a little funny, as when artist D.C. Ice shows the sour-faced contortions of werewolf transformation. All of the illustrations convey an appropriately spooky or mysterious mood without being gruesome. Mildly scary stories with major kid appeal." - Series Made Simple; School Library Journal
