description: Meet the world's most unusual monsters in this darkly funny collection of creatures and cryptids from folkloric history. Illustrator Emma SanCartier captures the bizarre and hilarious elements of 17 monsters from around the world in a light tongue-in-cheek tone from the Japanese dream-eater Baku and the Persian carnivorous unicorn Shadhavar to the Eastern-European Shurale a literal tickle monster. Packaged in a textured three-piece case and illustrated in lush watercolor Monsters You Should Know is a perfect primer for the many strange frightening and compelling things that go bump in the night.
