Since childhood, we have told ourselves the bumps in the night are nothing more than a branch on the window or the weary bones of an old home. However, not all those creeks and shudders are born of innocence. Sometimes, there is a tenable reason for fear-in the case of This Book, 19 reasons.

Caged here behind lines of ink, you'll discover a horde of unique monsters wrested from their dens for the first time. Some will escape and slink back to the shadows. A few will drag a victim along. But the worst will be those who gain a taste of our world. Our homes. Our thoughts. So be wary of movement in a dark stairwell. That wasn't the family cat. Don't be lulled by the sound of your partner's soft breathing. They stopped drawing breath some minutes ago. And for heaven's sake, never betray the one thing that's kept you alive all these years, because your fear isn't lying to you. The monsters aren't coming, they are already here!
