With so many variations of creatures, monsters and living dead monstrosities throughout history, it's always a pleasure
to find books that condense and summarize this information into easy to read novels such as Encyclopedia of the Undead .
Being a monster enthusiast, I know days could be spent perusing through old books on legends and myths to get even a
small understanding of what has been reported and written here. The good news is, Bob Curran has made life a little
easier and a little less time consuming. Interesting enough with the subject matter being astronomical, Bob has chosen
to focus on specifically that of the undead and its historical manifestations through time. The book is broken down very
simply. The chapters include Vampires, werewolf's, zombies and Voodoo, Ghouls, and HP Lovecraft. That last one might
throw you for a loop but my guess is it was a labor of love that was thrown in out of pure interest in the subject.
Interestingly enough these sections are also broken down into the mythical creatures or legend aspects including
locations, townsfolks, cultures and century aspects. The information provided is only that which helps in the
understanding on what was important to the undead aspects mentioned.



The term "undead" used for this book is in reference to not only zombies, but legendary creatures that have
died, come back from the dead or have risen to inflict terror, pain or other devious natures. For instance, under
vampires Bob speaks about many creatures that have historical similarities though are sprung from old legends of where
they are based. So Irish folklore might differentiate from British folklore and so on. The comparisons are made of like
creatures like Banshee, Lilith, Striges, Succubus and others who all have shared characteristics. One character is being
that of blood drinking, sexual visitations or night invasions. Other areas of interest include tales of real persons
buried alive thought to be dead only to be re-discovered before real death set in.



Of course there's more where that came from. We learn the true origin of the word Dracula, we cover the differences
between Satan an Sheitan and are taken on journeys centuries old where times where differrent and old Gods were the way
and of life and belief in those days.



With Werewolves, Bob talks about creatures that come from wolven backgrounds, or animalistic in nature. The stance of
Christianity on Evil, rituals. lore and guises of shape shifters. What I loved about the sections as they are split
nicely into titled paragraphs, so you can easily find the subject mater and go right to the important sources you seek
to read. The same for Zombie and Voodoo. Much of the book is rooted in old school research, rather than modern day movie
fare. A nice change with so many books on creatures throughout the marketplace.



The study of HP Lovecraft is fascinating as we given some of his upbringings, told about his rise as an author and
question the very existence of his controversial works such as Necronomicon.



What the book says is that history has had many fears, and terrors created in a more cautious primitive s time when
legends were a way of life to help keep order among towns. Thing such as going out at night were frowned upon with a
fear that a certain undead myth would rise and devour.



There are many creatures to tackle, though Bob tackles ones that deeper inset into the old ways and gives up fact and
fiction as reported though the pages. A great discovery of legends and fears abound.



Bob has a real knack for presenting the facts but in a way that's still easy to consume. Accompanied by excellent
illustrative work from Ian Daniels, makes this not only a fun read but an essential read for just the history content
alone.
