Five myths: 2 Greek,1  Japanese,1  Babylonian, and1  Mayan are told with swords, severed heads, magical powers, dragons, sharp fangs, and Hydras after an explantion as to how and why myths evolved. On my first read these stories didn’t seem so ‘scary’, but after reading the section ” PerfectYour Scary Story Telling” I went back and tried again. Now, I could see how I could build tension for my listeners and my opinion of the book changed for the better.

The smattering of photos (creeped me out) grabbed my attention first: the life-size house flies and beetles, woods backlit by an encroaching fire, a bat with his mouth of teeth showing, and the page totally filled with a reptilian eye.
