Monstrous Mythologies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781590217245)

The ancient myths bears their fangs in this illustrated book by noted artist Michael Bukowski. As a child, the artist read the works of H.P. Lovecraft and discovered how that weird fiction author name-dropped a veritable who's who of gods and creatures from ancient folklore. Before long, Bukowski began sketching how he imagined and Circe as frightening entities. This contemporary bestiary features mythology and monsters from around the globe. Each entry includes notations from poems, stories, and scholarly work on folklore and myth.
