Skräck - Stora boken om mörkrets monster - Från vampyrer till zombier #[nn]

A beautifully assembled Swedish horror compendium from Bokförlaget Semic, Skräck ("Horror") promises exactly what its striking cover delivers — a procession of darkness's most enduring monsters, from a cape-clad vampire and a lumbering Frankenstein's creature to a ghostly long-haired figure, an eldritch tentacled beast with glowing red eyes, and even a shadowy hellhound clutching a jack-o'-lantern. Peter Bergting's cover art frames the whole ghastly assembly against a moonlit graveyard with confident, atmospheric linework that sets an appropriately eerie tone. If you've ever wanted a sweeping Swedish-language guide to monsters from vampires to zombies and beyond, this 2020 volume wears its love of horror with stylish, unabashed pride.
