Description
Read 100+ terrifying North American legends of monsters, cryptids, and more in this folk horror anthology illustrated with 75 stunning linocut-style artworks!

Discover the original folk horror of North America . . . These 100+ terrifying legends emerged over the centuries to reflect the continent's harsh landscapes--and often tragic history. Now, the horror stories, taboos, and fears of every North American culture come to life in this ghastly folk horror anthology! Read about:

- Qallupilluit of Nunavut: This scaly sea-monster hunts along the ice floes, kidnapping children that wander too close to the water.
- La Corriveau of Quebec: A woman hanged for witchcraft chases her victims through the night in her gibbet.
- Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest: The Wild Man of America has been spotted throughout history.
- Ghost Moose of Maine: Hunters pursue this spectral creature until they die of exhaustion.
- La Diablesse of Tobago: A young woman who made a pact with the Devil lures men to their untimely end.
- Green Lady of Hawaii: With seaweed for hair, knotted roots for hands, and jagged splinters for teeth, she hunts for children to replace her own lost boy.

Each chilling folk horror story is illustrated with spectacular linocut-style artwork. From the Indigenous Peoples to European immigrants, from the Atlantic to Pacific Coast, this horror anthology embodies the unique melting pot of American cultural heritage--alongside monsters, cryptids, and spirits of the most horrific sort.

About the Author
Mike Bass grew up in a house with spirits and has always been fascinated by myths, folklore and the supernatural. He is a print maker, folklorist and storyteller who loves hearing a good tale as much as telling one. In his art, he combines ink and pencil drawings with printed textures to create minimally layered illustrations with rough lines and simple and opaque palettes that works well with the folkloric subjects. He owns, with his wife, the Zip-Dang shop in Madison and is the author of the Folklore Oracle.
