''There are a lot of recent book releases that take a humorous angle with horror ... This one may be one of the cheekiest and the most entertaining ... What is the COMPENDIUM MONSTRUM? It's a great pocket-sized ... reference or field guide to monsters. It gives everything from history to practical advice for dealing with monsters to maps of their known whereabouts. It's like a supernatural travel guide. The inside appearance ... gives it the aged look of a vintage book ... This just adds to the fun factor ... It's a fun item to have lying around to flip through ... Definitely the sort of thing you'd give as a gift to someone. What, you want to give someone a dictionary or encyclopedia? Yeah, but do they have a 'Vampire Hunter's Guide to Transylvania?' I think not! Instructions on what to do and not to do if you meet a Vampire face to face? The COMPENDIUM does! Go buy it, you know you want to.''
