Review Detail

This book is a one-stop-shop for all of your Japanese monster research needs! Every entry provides essential information (name, pronunciation, alternate names, gender, height, weight, location, weapons, weaknesses and MORE) along with that particular monster's claim to fame. There are descriptions of the monster's attack, tips on how to survive, and a host of other fascinating details--all of which combine to make this a thoroughly comprehensive and entertaining guide to Japanese monster mythology! Each entry also includes illustrations, and while I wasn't as taken with the artwork as I wish I had been, it serves its purpose in giving readers an idea of what each monster looks like.

Fabulous book.
