Accompanied by illustrations of each beast, Freaky Folklore is your guide to the world's most terrifying beings, from ancient times to today. Hosts from the leading horror podcast network, Eeriecast, present the most frightening-and entertaining-tales of these mysterious creatures, revealing everything you need to know. This beautifully creepy collection is filled with wicked monsters, including: Bubak: A creature present in old Czech folklore, the Bubak is described as a scarecrow-looking creature that can cry like a baby to lure its victims to their death. Tikbalang: In Philippine mythology, the Tikbalang is a half-human and half-horse creature similar to the Centaur in Greek mythology. It's believed that a Tikbalang scares away travelers or leads them astray. Kikimora: A female house spirit from Slavic lore, the Kikimora can be helpful or malevolent depending on the behavior of the homeowner. The Hidebehind: A fearsome nocturnal critter from American folklore, the Hidebehind preys upon humans that wander the woods and was blamed for the disappearances of early loggers when they failed to return to camp. The Leviathan: A vast sea monster of tremendous strength, the Leviathan is described as the most powerful and dangerous in the ocean, known as a sea serpent in theology and mythology. Dogman: A werewolf or werewolf-type creature first reported in 1887 in Wexford County, Michigan, Dogman sightings have been reported in several locations throughout Michigan, primarily in the northwestern quadrant of the Lower Peninsula. Freaky Folklore has the stories, culture, and illustrations for you to be on the lookout for these beasts. Dive into the world of mythology and find what makes each creature unique.

Author Biography:

Darkness Prevails is a spooky storyteller extraordinaire hailing from the Ozarks of Arkansas. When he's not busy spinning yarns about things that go bump in the night on Eeriecast: The Horror Podcast Network or on his wildly successful YouTube channel, Darkness Prevails, he can often be found wandering through the misty woods, searching for evidence of Bigfoot (or at least an excuse to use his night-vision goggles). Despite his fascination with the unknown, Darkness Prevails is also a devoted family man. He is the proud father of two terrors-in-training. His wife, who may or may not be a vampire, supports his creepy pursuits and even helps him research his latest hair-raising tales. With a love for all things spooky and a knack for making even the bravest of souls quiver in their boots, Darkness Prevails is a force to be reckoned with in the horror genre. So, turn off the lights, grab a flashlight, and get ready for a frightfully good time. Carman Carrion is a name synonymous with the eerie and mysterious realms of folklore and horror. As the esteemed writer and host of the popular podcasts Freaky Folklore and Destination Terror, Carman has spent a lifetime immersed in the spine-tingling tales that have captured the human imagination for generations. Working as a dedicated contributor to the Eeriecast Podcast Network, Carman's dulcet voice and captivating storytelling have brought chilling narratives to life for countless listeners.
