''There are a lot of recent book releases that take a humorous angle with horror...This one may be one of the cheekiest and the most entertaining...What is the COMPENDIUM MONSTRUM?...It's like a supernatural travel guide. The inside appearance...gives it the aged look of a vintage book...This just adds to the fun factor...Definitely the sort of thing you'd give as a gift to someone. What, you want to give someone a dictionary or encyclopedia? Yeah, but do they have a 'Vampire Hunter's Guide to Transylvania?' I think not!...Go buy it, you know you want to.'' --Book Legion
