Of?cially, it's the Department of Cryptozoology, Mythological Studies, Parapsychology and Fortean Phenomena. But to the rest of the students and staff at the Dunsany College, baf?ed by the cloak of secrecy that surrounds the Department and its affairs, it has another, more dismissive, name: the Department of Monster ology. Funded by the mysterious Hampton Foundation, the Department operates several ?eld teams that roam the globe on extended research expeditions. Their brief: to investigate the dark and unexplored corners of our world - the places we've forgotten lost or believe to be mythical. And to study those things that may still be lurking there. The ?rst story arc introduces us to ancient monsters from the depths of the ocean, crystalline creatures from the caves of Eastern Europe, undead armies from the catacombs of Northern China, and the Department's deadliest rivals of all... The first trade paperback in this highly praised ongoing comic book series. Featuring the first 4 comic issues, the prologue comic strip (as seen in USA Today), plus a new origin story 'The Trouble With Harry'.

Monsterology: Fabulous Lives of the Creepy, the Revolting, and the Undead is the most fun anyone can have with some of the nastiest creatures ever imagined! Who can resist morsels like the fact that “Drakul” means “son of the dragon” in Romanian, that the first Golem may have been Enkidu, who appeared in the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh, and that Frankenstein’s Monster was first inspired by Mary Shelley’s nightmare? Governor General’s Award-winner Arthur Slade has gathered together fifteen scary critters, ranging from Dracula to Golem, from Frankenstein to Baba Yaga and even a zombie. He provides facts, real history, imagined history, and lots of jokes to make these creatures come to life. Slade’s hilarious text presents delicious imagined gossip, favorite blood types, favorite movies, and even favorite haunts (you should pardon the expression) with character descriptions and thoroughly researched background information. Lively black-and-white illustrations by Derek Mah make this a book that is sure to be a hit with every monster-loving reader.
