Just a second...(grunt) I just need to (yelp!)...do something a bit different for this... (cry!) review!

Reader Dan: Ah. That's better.

Writer Dan: Isn't it? We should split the psyche more often. I'm so sick of you reading Ketchum filth when we should be working.

RD: A good writer needs to read as much as possible, WD. Anyway, what the hell's your problem? I thought you wanted to BE Jack Ketchum?

WD: ...

RD: Anyhoo. Here's the review for the (drumroll) non-fiction book, They Bite! by kajillion time...more

Although a lot of the sections such as vampires and werewolves held a lot of known information, I love the chapters such as "Cryptids" that give information on the lesser known creatures out there. Great informational book.

Just picked this up as I do to like to know a little bit more of the mythology of many of the monsters I adore. It seems like an interesting pop culture exploration of creatures that go bump in the night, at least the ones that may actually sink their teeth into you. And I have learned some new perspectives on creatures I thought I knew everything about.

A good book if you are looking for some history for the creatures it covers. There are a few unique insights in some of the sections and a pretty good list of cryptids.

Anyone else notice that either her head is on backwards or her arm is? Plus, ladies, let's just make one thing clear. Being a demon of the night is no excuse for letting your hair get tangled and nasty.
