Click here to watch a video review of this book on my channel, From Beginning to Bookend.
Frightlopedia is a fascinating encyclopedia of real and imagined creepy creatures, terrifying tales, petrifying plants, and horrible hauntings.
Every entry begins with a rating on the Fright Meter, a scale that ranges from one to three with a dial made from a severed finger. However, the Fright Meter might be broken: On a scale of one to three, finding a spider in the toilet definitely ranks higher than a one (even if the spider is fake, constructed by following the convenient how-to on page 11). Fear, after all, is relative.
The book introduces frightening cryptids (mysterious or bizarre creatures claimed to have been seen by people but yet to be proven real by science) from all over the world. The section on haunted houses and ghosts is far creepier than anything written in Hell House .
This passage, in particular, had a chilling effect:
[Based on a true story] The Rashids said that the first signs the house was haunted appeared the day they moved in. They heard a knocking on the wall and a voice saying, "Is anyone there?" Mr. Rashid looked everywhere but found no one. Minutes later, they heard the voice again. On another occasion, Mrs. Rashid thought she saw one of her daughters watching TV downstairs at 5 a.m. But when she went upstairs to check the daughter's bed, she was sleeping right there. The final straw came when the Rashids found what they believed were drops of blood on their baby son's quilt. They moved out that day.
The contents of this book include myriad other intriguing topics from the human library of mummified bodies in Palermo, Italy, to leeches who enjoy a blood smoothie, or the Hoia Baciu Forest in Transylvania -- where people have, for years, reported hearing voices and seeing unexplained lights.
Packed with pictures and charming illustrations, Frightlopedia is an informative and fun compendium for all ages.

A fantastic encyclopedia perfect for the Halloween season!
While I did read the description of the book, I didn't expect to read what I did read. It was even better than I had hoped!
This book isn't only about fictional monsters or places, but also features real monsters (spiders (NOPE NOPE), komodo dragons, snakes), real places (Transylvania isn't just Dracula's home), and more! All of them in alphabetical order so if needed (in case of a zombie apocalypse) you can just flip through the book to the right letter/right information. :P I did miss some fright things, like the Suicide Forest in Japan, or clowns. But I guess they have to make a selection or the book would get too big.
And of course it isn't just information, oh no. No, this book features some really fun DIY stuff. Of course related to creepy things, like make your own blood or how to make jars filled with spooky items. I loved reading those, and I can't wait to try out a few of the DIY stuff myself.
Next to DIY are spine-chilling stories, though I do feel there could have been more of those. We have a few long ones, and a few shorter ones including with the information about a monster/place.
Each of the monsters/places/etc. is marked by a meter that tells us how scary something is. I quite like that addition, it reminds me of P.J Night's You're Invited to a Creepover serie.
The book is made even more fun by fabulous illustrations (I really loved the style, it was at times a breath of fresh air in between all the creepy things) and photographs (which is a big nope at some parts of the book).
A must-read for this Halloween season!

Frightlopedia is an encyclopedia about not only ghosts, haunted houses, monsters and mummies, but also about killer bees, rats, sharks, UFOs, catacombs, flesh eating plants, and more. Each entry has a score from 1 to 3 in the "fright meter" to let you know how scary it is, so you can decide if you want to read it, or maybe just skip it. So while the fear of being buried alive is a 3, fake wounds are only a 1.
The approach of the author is that it's fun to be a little scared when we know you are not truly in danger, but being too scary is not funny at all, and it is also unnecessary. The text is also humorous, making the whole experience less scary. At the same time we tend to be less scared of things when we know more about them, and understand better when a fear is actually unreasonable, and also how we can avoid situations that are potentially dangerous.
The book is thoroughly illustrated, and it counts with "Horrifying how-tos", which are little projects like make the house look haunted, paint a vampire bite in your neck, or write your own ghost story.
Age range: Although the writing can be perfectly understood by a 8 years old kid, it also depends on how easily the kid gets scared. In the overall I would say that the goal of the book is not to terrify the reader, and most of the kids won't. But I understand parents should asses if their kids might find it enjoyable or not. I read many entries with my 8 years old daughter, and she found the book amusing.
I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great read for kids. It's full of scary stories, true ghost stories, vampires, monsters, and even true facts about spiders. I enjoyed it with the kids.

A kid-friendly and age-appropriate guide to all that is scary in the world, real and imagined.
November 14, 2020
This came in my daughter's OwlCrate last month. I love factoids, so I enjoyed the encyclopedia aspect of this book. The scary stories were just meh for me, not very scary.
I thought the creepy how-tos were an interesting aspect that a lot of kids might enjoy and parents not so much. (Plastic spiders in the toilet? No thanks!)
I think the cover is the ugliest thing ever, from the awful picture to the jumble of fonts.
The dealbreaker for me was the section on how to hold a séance. Seriously, we're telling kids to do this? Also, I didn't like the tone of the book that implies that ghosts, monsters, etc., could be real. Although I get it that they're trying to be creepy, I also know how impressionable and literal kids can be, and I think it ought to be clearer.

I received a copy of this title from the publisher via Netgalley.
Ten Second Synopsis:
An easy-to-read collection of a diverse range of scary stuff. From vampires and zombies to bizarre burial practices and creepy insects, Frightlopedia has you covered if you are in the mood for learning about things that go bump (or slither or boo) in the night.
This is actually a really well put-together, informative and fun non fiction text. Far from being a "kid's book", I found myself drawn in to some of the interesting entries, such the monastery whose crypt contains the perfect conditions to naturally mummify corpses so tourists can wander through and have a look. There are cryptids, bizarre buildings, deathly illnesses and nasty humans to explore and learn about and it's all set out in an enticing format.
Entries are organised alphabetically and there are plenty of absorbingly creepy topics to get one's teeth into. Each topic is addressed in one to two pages, accompanied by illustrations or photographs, and some topics even include an activity for kids to complete so that the frights keep on coming.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this book and would highly recommend it to the fan of frightful happenings of your acquaintance. It would make a fantastic gift book or the perfect tool to quieten kids down in the classroom!

Frightlopedia: An Encyclopedia of Everything Scary, Creepy, and Spine-Chilling, from Arachnids to Zombies by Julie Winterborn is scheduled for release on August 23 2016. It combines fact, fiction, and hands-on activities together to scare and entertain readers with some of the world’s most frightening places, scariest stories, and gruesomest creatures, both real and imagined. Discover Borneo’s Gomantong Cave, where literally millions of bats, cockroaches, spiders, and rats coexist in pitch darkness. Learn about mythical creatures like the Mongolian Death Worm—and scarily real ones like killer bees, which were accidentally created by scientists in the 1950s. Visit New Orleans’s Beauregard-Keyes house, where Civil War soldiers are said to still clash in the front hall. Plus ghost stories from around the world, a cross-cultural study of vampires, and how to transform into a zombie with makeup. Each entry includes a “Fright Meter” measurement from 1 to 3, because while being scared is fun, everyone has their limit.
Frightlopedia is a fun and sometimes frightening read that will appeal too many readers. I like that the book is well organized, so readers looking for information on a certain type of monster or scary story can find the wanted information quickly. I think the scare-o-meter is a great aspect as well, since it forwards readers just how scary some of the stories might be for them. The variety of urban legends, well known stories and monsters, and those less known is nice. The inclusion of real creatures that some find scary, like spiders that eat birds and other sizable critters, rounded out the collection well. I even learned a few new bits of certain legends that I had not heard of before. I think readers that love all things masters or creepy will enjoy this book for multiple reads.
Frightlopedia is a great read for those that like scary stories and monsters, and not just to be scared. I liked the fright-o-meter so the least and most stalwart of readers can still enjoy the book and skip over bits that might not be conducive to bedtime.

Love the introduction! The description and similes are brilliant and I know my year five class would love them. Clear explanation of how the book is set out with diagrams and different fonts to keep reader interested. The whole book is beautifully decorated and the topics are so vast, I can see myself taking information and adding it to my lessons to keep the class engaged.
I love the drawings and the fact that the page is divided into sections so it is easy to navigate. The chatty tone of the book makes it easy to read and lively. I particularly like the 'horrible how-to' sections which encourages children to get up and do something! A great book for parents to buy children for the summer holidays to encourage them to set up investigations (my favourite is the evil scientist jars). A great section to read after you have visited the Hunterian museum in Holborn!
I know the boys in my class will love this book and I will be making an order when it is published. I give books as prizes once a month and it is difficult to find books that the children haven't already got/read. This would make a fantastic prize for them. They will love the interesting facts, the drawings, the gruesome photographs. The next 'Horrible Histories.' I read this on Netgalley and am so impressed with it.

This is a fun book that kids, especially boys, will love. It tells about scary things, scary places and includes scary stories from around the world from A to Z. I can just hear my grandson sharing some of these stories around the fire-pit. Are you afraid of spiders? claustrophobic? Have you ever seen a ghost? Do you believe ghosts exist? The section about ghosts, ghost hunting and famous ghosts was quite interesting and with all the shows about ghosts and ghost hunting on television it is sure to interest the reader. The Island of the Dolls just plain freaked me out. There is so much to learn about and to freak out a reader. Are the killer bees coming? Watch out for the Flesh eating plant? Have you ever participated in a seance or used a Oujia board? I love the Horrifying How-Tos? Kids will love to try some of these ideas. So many more things in this book. I recommend this book to school and public libraries. What a great way to get reluctant readers hooked on reading.

Frightlopedia is the perfect book for young readers who love a little thrill! A nice feature is that its not all monsters and ghosts, it also includes information about poisonous or harmful trees and animals which may appeal to a broader set of readers, it had a nice mixture of fiction and non-fiction. I love that the book included little tid-bits of information and the "Horrifying How To" activities for children to create and explore. This is definitely a wonderful addition for any class or home library.

A fascinating read that combines facts, fiction, and hands-on activities. FRIGHT-LOPEDIA has all the things that go bump in the night, and then some. From mummies, to the largest spiders in the world, to being buried alive, ghosts, and zombies. Listed in chronological order, this is a great book for those who enjoy the creepy, crawly, scary, make your skin crawl, kind of reads. From history to modern day, to the 'what-if', this is a book that will both fascinate, and creep out it's readers. This book definitely makes for a perfect Halloween read.

I loved the structure of this text, and students and other teachers will as well. Different than a traditional encyclopedia, the Frightlopedia mixes fact, fiction, traditional literature, and hands-on activities which makes this a perfect classroom text as it will suck in readers in so many different ways, and it will also work in such a variety of classroom activities as well.

This Encyclopedia of everything scary, creepy, and spine chilling is arranged alphabetically for quick survival reference. Each item is rated with a fright meter that helps you decide if you dare to read on. Filled with drawings and actual photos this little guide is the perfect gift for readers age’s eight to 12 who love fearsome facts.

🧛♂️Fright-Lopedia by Julie Winterbottom🧛♂️
⚠️ Warning : Scary Facts and information inside⚠️
Haden’t read a middle-grade non-fiction book in a while so decided to give this one a go. I really enjoyed the interesting facts from scary spiders to haunted homes. There is also a lot of educational information about endangered animals and the threat to their habitats.
There many greyscale snapshots of deadly creatures as well as eerie blue tinted illustrations by @stefano_tambellini
There’s also fun activities to get involved in as well as some snappy ghost stories. In each section there’s a handy scale to let you know how “scary” the section will be. This is quite handy for younger children. Personally, I doesn’t find anything too scary in the book. Would recommend for a age range of 9-12.
Definitely a good book for any child who is interested in scary stories and creatures. The fun indoor activities are also a great way for of keeping kids busy during lockdown. My only criticism was I really enjoyed the ghost stories and wished there were a few more.
On a more lighthearted note, who thinks the lady on the cover looks like she just had a bad trip from the dentist? 🦷😆

Here’s the book for kids who love scary stuff, whether it’s telling ghost stories around a campfire, discovering the origins of various vampires, monsters, and witches, or reading creepy tales under the covers with a flashlight.
Combining fact, fiction, and hands-on activities, Frightlopedia is an illustrated A-Z collection of some of the world’s most frightening places, scariest stories, and gruesomest creatures, both real and imagined.
Discover Borneo’s Gomantong Cave, where literally millions of bats, cockroaches, spiders, and rats coexist—in pitch darkness. Learn about mythical creatures like the Mongolian Death Worm—and scarily real ones like killer bees, which were accidentally created by scientists in the 1950s. Visit New Orleans’s Beauregard-Keyes house, where Civil War soldiers are said to still clash in the front hall. Plus ghost stories from around the world, a cross-cultural study of vampires, and how to transform into a zombie with makeup. Each entry includes a “Fright Meter” measurement from 1 to 3, because while being scared is fun, everyone has their limit.

Loved this book. Some scary stuff in it. Their is no way on my future travels I will venture to Australia. Apparently they have the scariest/deadliest crocodiles, spiders, snakes, water, plants, and a tree. This book was also informational on some myths, legends, and some things we all think are terrifying.😱
