Product Description
Review
"Highly entertaining and a great book for anyone interested in the weird and the frightening." --"FATE magazine "(October 2010)
Product Description
Spotlighting news articles, historical accounts, and first-person interviews, this chronicle of human interactions with monsters will convince even the most hardened sceptic of the existence of the bogeyman, big-foot, werewolves, and swamp creatures. Offering an array of wild reports - from the police officer who begrudgingly responded to a call about a long-haired woman flying over a suburban neighbourhood only to find himself calling for backup when she attacked his patrol car to the motorist whose headlights illuminated a seven-foot tall, wolf-like creature that stood on its hind legs - this historical record highlights scary and unbelievable narratives. From slightly demented humans to spine-tingling paranormal encounters, each outlandish occurrence is detailed with thorough research and recounted with a storyteller's crafted voice.

Don't Hide From This Monster Of A Book - One Of Steiger's Best!
22 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback
There are good monsters, bad monsters, and down right mean monsters.
Brad Steiger attacks them all in his latest big book that tells you more about the subject than any other work of its kind I have ever read and I know of what I speak since I have written on the subject and investigated the story behind the story (now an urban legend) that Washington Irving popularized so long ago.
This is one hell of a read. Steigers book packs a punch powerful enough to knock the head off any horseman. This work is something even Ichabod Crane could stick his nose into.
Add it to your paranormal library - OR ELSE!

Entertaining book, but AWFUL e-book formatting
29 Dec 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
So far I am enjoying the actual content of this book. It simply contains fun, scary and interesting stories about paranormal creatures, which is what I wanted. I'm giving it only three stars because the e-book formatting is atrocious. Words are misspelled, punctuation is off and it just looks kind of bad. There really is no excuse for how poor the e-book formatting has been done.

A Monstrously Superb and Authoritative Work
20 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback
Brad Steiger's new book "Real Monsters, Gruesome Critters, and Beasts from the Darkside" is an incredible comprehensive overview and resource for all things monstrous, whether creatures and entities unnatural, or natural beasties and beings which are natural, but unknown to science.
It was a great honor to see my research quoted in Brad's book, since he is the master researcher and writer on all matters paranormal, occult and mysterious. In this new book, he has drawn together a veritable smorgasbord of facts, evidence, personal accounts, and logical, well-reasoned postulations, which collectively is sure to be a much-referenced source and guide for those who are serious about such studies, as well as those who are simply curious.
Unlike so many books on such topics these days, this is no lightweight tome, but is a hefty, information-packed volume that will draw the reader back again and again.
Buy this book. You will thoroughly enjoy it and be glad that you did.
