Description
A stunning illustrated guide to the denizens of the dark written by the Spook himself. Notes, tales and lessons on how deal with the dark - and survive. "My name is John Gregory. What follows is my Bestiary - my personal account of the denizens of the dark I've encountered, together with the lessons I have learned and the mistakes I have made. I have held nothing back, and my hope is that the spook who follows me will continue to keep this record of the practical ways in which we deal with the dark." A companion title to the phenomenally successful Spook's series. Discover how to bind a boggart and deal with a dead witch in this fascinating and lavishly illustrated Spook's own "notebook". A must for die-hard fans of the series and an irresistible introduction to the dark and the dangerous for new recruits.
Author Biography
Joseph Delaney used to be an English teacher, before becoming the best-selling author of the Spook's series, which has been published in 30 countries and sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide. The first book, The Spook's Apprentice, was adapted into a major motion picture starring Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore.
ReviewsChristmas traditions have long included the telling of grisly tales and The Spook's Bestiary by Joseph Delaney fits the bill . . . The illustrations and design of this book are stunning. It is a brooding and eerie collection of stories for reading in one sitting or dipping into -- Jake Hope * The Bookseller *
