The Monster Hunter's Handbook


The Monster Hunter's Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Saving Mankind from Vampires, Zombies, Hellhounds, and Other Mythical Beasts The Monster Hunter's Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Saving Mankind from Vampires, Zombies, Hellhounds, and Other Mythical Beasts

Naturally I picked this book up because it mentioned zombies right on the cover. That and I pretty much like to read about creatures in general. It was pretty interesting at the beginning with all the different monsters. Most of them I had either heard of or known about ex. vampires, hydra, cyclops, centaur, golem, harpy, kraken,....So many! And later it dealt with enchanted items like Thor's Hammer (Mjolnir). A lot of it dealt with mythology. I had taken a class in university which dealt with all that (which I did fail at. The test was hard okay!! Don't judge!) The zombie write-up was at the end of the monster section. It was only 3 pages. It gave a description, killing method, dangers, and weaknesses. This write-up leaned more towards voodoo zombie lore and less about viral ones.

The book went all lame and since it didn't deal a lot more with what I thought it would, it gets a low rating.
