Overview
Tapping into the resurgence of interest in horror and folklore and illustrated with 75 linocut-style artworks, this contemporary, cool and highly desirable collection of scary North American legends has standout visual appeal.
"The brilliance of Frightful Folklore of North America is how it captures the expansiveness of the land, the various cultures (Native and non-Native), the stories told over time … This impressive collection will haunt your imagination."
– V. Castro, author of Goddess of Filth and The Haunting of Alejandra
Discover the original folk horror of North America: over 100 of the most terrifying legends and gruesome folklore that emerged over the centuries in response to this wild continent’s harsh and awesome landscapes and often tragic history. From the Indigenous Peoples to those who in later times crossed sea and land to settle there, each culture has added its stories, taboos and fears to this ghastly anthology. Read about:
Qallupilluit of Nunavut: This green, scaly, web-handed sea-monster hunts along the ice floes, kidnapping children that wander too close to the water.
La Corriveau of Quebec: A woman hanged for murder and witchcraft runs through the night in her gibbet chasing her victims.
Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest: The Wild Man of America, who has been spotted throughout history.
Ghost Moose of Maine: Hunters are drawn to keep pursuing this spectral creature until they die of exhaustion or exposure.
La Diablesse of Tobago: A young woman who made a pact with the Devil. When in human form, she entraps men with her beauty and lures them to an untimely end.
Green Lady of Hawaii: With seaweed for hair, knotted roots for hands and jagged splinters for teeth, she hunts for children to replace her own lost boy.
And many, many more … Each chill-inducing tale is illustrated with a spectacular linocut-style artwork. From Greenland to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, this collection embodies the unique melting pot of American cultural heritage, alongside monsters, cryptids, spirits and ghosts of the most horrific sort.
