The Monsters We Forgot - Part II: MONSTERS Volume 2

Do you ever wonder what really happened at Chernobyl? Or why we call that little old church the Devil’s Doorstep? How about the obscure horror movie that’s linked to every homicide scene in Los Angeles? Did you hear about that little girl who disappeared after crying about the Shadow Man? Do you know about the corpse-eaters who live under the graveyard? Or why the most beautiful girl in town can’t get married? Want to know what really lives in that abandoned house out in the hills? What about the dollmaker whose dolls always looked just a little too… alive? How about the secret shrine in the middle of the Everglades? Want to guess what happens if you kill a monster’s baby? Imaginary friends who are much more than they seem… Faeries far crueler than you’ve been led to believe… A demon that preys on incarcerated youth… Eldritch monstrosities that are closer to you than you’ll ever know… A breathtaking goddess with a terrible secret… A beautiful ghost with a horrifying agenda… An ancient beast prowling the Australian Outback… These are just a few of THE MONSTERS WE FORGOT.
