English Summary/英文概要： Discover the nature of Evil… and how to kick its butt!
These days you can’t swing an undead lycanthrope without hitting a Minion of Evil. They’re everywhere—TV, film, the basement…right behind you! It’s never been more important to know what you can do to keep them at bay. Garlic? silver bullets? holy water? torch-wielding mob?
From today’s foremost experts on nightmares-come-to-life, this indispensible guide identifies and describes mankind’s enemies—supernatural beasts, ghosts, vampires, serial killers, etc.—and unearths effective time-proven responses to each horrific threat.
*Separate fact from fiction, the deadly from the merely creepy.
*Learn when to stand your ground and when to run screaming for your life.
*Determine which monster-specific heroes to call and their likelihood of success.
*Consider your own potential as a Champion for Good, Conqueror of the Damned.
Whether we’re talking ancient vampire hunters or modern-day FBI profilers, it’s good to know someone’s got your back in the eternal struggle between Good and Evil. And this book, with over fifty illustrations, as well as commentary from luminaries like filmmaker John Carpenter, author Peter Straub, and the legendary Stan Lee, provides all the information and reassurance you need to sleep soundly at night. Just not too soundly.
*With 8 pages of color art

Awards/获奖情况：Maberry (Marvel Zombies Return) and thriller writer Bashman’s closeup look at the inevitable battle between good and evil spans decades upon decades of rich monster history, beginning with the definition of evil itself. Illustrations and interviews with top publishing, film, and comic industry names, such as Stan Lee, Jason Aaron, John Carpenter, add depth and intellect to a gripping and informative work. Lists of top villains and horror genre movies serve as appendixes and added entertainment value. Encyclopedic chapter insets offer bits and pieces of information and history on subjects ranging from the "Necronomicon" (the Lovecraftian "ancient and evil book of sorcery") to ghosts and the definition of fear: "In modern speech the word ÿfear’ refers to emotions; but in Old English ÿfaer’ refers to the specific ÿperil or danger’ and not the emotional reaction." With its presentation of the story of evil through straight history, factual tidbits, and pop culture, this book is the horror genre fan’s best friend. No stone is left unturned in Maberry and Bashman’s fantastic and inventive approach to the world’s oldest war. 8 pages of color and 40 b&w images. ---From Publishers Weekly Maberry (Marvel Zombies Return) and thriller writer Bashman’s closeup look at the inevitable battle between good and evil spans decades upon decades of rich monster history, beginning with the definition of evil itself.
