FEARSOME CREATURES OF THE LUMBERWOODS: 20 CHILLING TALES FROM THE WILDERNESS

Book ID/图书代码： 14560015B83335

English Summary/英文概要： Just for kids, twenty bone-chilling tales about the most dangerous fantastical beasts in American folklore. Meet the Snoligoster, who feeds on the shadows of its victims. The Hodag, like a spiny-backed bull-horned rhinoceros. The Hoop Snake, which can chase prey at speeds of up to 60 miles per hour and then, with one sting of its tail, cause it to turn purple, swell up, and die.

Illustrated throughout, including eight drawings printed with glow-in-the-dark ink, Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods is for every young reader who loves a good scare. The book was originally published in 1910 by William Thomas Cox and is now inspiringly retold by Hal Johnson, author of Immortal Lycanthropes. The creatures are all scales and claws, razor-sharp teeth and stealth, camouflage and single-minded nastiness. Straight out of the era of Paul Bunyan, they speak to an earlier time in American history, when the woods were indeed dark and deep and filled with mystery. The tone is smart and quirky. The illustrations have a sinewy, retro field-guide look. Read them around a campfire, if you dare.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 为儿童们精心准备的20个令你胆战心惊的故事，有关于美国民俗传说中最危险也最惊奇的野兽们。首先是Snoligoster，专门以受害者们的影子为食的生物。Hodag，有着突出脊柱和牛角的犀牛。Hoop蛇，可以以每小时60公里的速度追逐其猎物，而只需要其尾巴上的一刺，便可以使猎物迅速变紫，肿胀而亡。

本书通篇均配有插图，其中包括八幅夜光作品。《林间恐怖生物集》适合于每一个喜欢恐怖因素的青少年读者。本书最初于1910年由威廉•托马斯•考克斯出版，《不死狼人》的作者哈尔•约翰逊深受启发，重新讲述了书中的一个个故事。书中描述的生物们都有着巨大的体型和利爪，有着锋利的牙齿和鬼祟的行踪，均为头脑简单又十分善于伪装的肮脏生物。从保罗•班杨的时代起，本书作者们讲述的是美国历史的早期时代，那时的树林是幽深黑暗的，也是充满了神秘气息的。全书文风睿智而不乏精灵古怪。书中的插图更是有着一种曾经的蛮荒之感。如果你够大胆，敬请在野营的篝火前享受这一阅读的盛宴吧。(DC)
