Some scary stories are more than just tall tales. This spine-tingling collection of TRUE terrors and haunting legends is perfect for Halloween--and thrills and chills all year long.

This book is not for the faint of heart...but for those brave enough, a bone-chilling, globe-trotting adventure awaits.

Filled with gripping photography and mind-boggling facts that reveal the history and science behind the curiosities of our world, PLUS a foreword written by bestselling author and king of creep R.L. Stine, this book is ideal for storytelling by flashlight around a campfire, throwing into a backpack to share at a sleepover, or--if you dare--reading alone under your covers. (But reader beware: Don't forget to check under the bed before turning the page...)

In these pages, you'll:

  • Roam the crumbling, skull-filled catacombs of Paris
  • Come face to face with an island full of real dragons
  • Hear haunting stories from history--from the vampire epidemic in New England to an epic (and gruesome) ship mutiny off the coast of Australia
  • Puzzle over unsolved mysteries, from UFO sightings to whole cities that have simply ... vanished
  • Shiver at modern retellings of classic scary stories and urban legends--and learn the truth behind the terror.
