The Folklore Bestiary: Twenty Legends Across the Threshold

By Fifth Point Press

Beyond the familiar world, the old stories are still waiting.

From Cerberus guarding the gates of the Underworld to the water-horse waiting beside a Scottish loch, The Folklore Bestiary journeys through twenty legendary beings drawn from myth, folklore, literary tales and modern legend.

Meet the Lernaean Hydra, the Bean S , the Griffin, the Werewolf, the Cornish Pixie, Yuki-onna, the Nuckelavee, the Leshy, the Dullahan, the Mothman and more.

Each creature is presented through an atmospheric original retelling, accompanied by a detailed black-and-white illustration. A dedicated Sources and Context section then leads readers back to the traditions, texts, archival records and historical sources behind the stories.

Carefully distinguishing ancient myth, literary fairy tale, oral tradition and modern legend, this is a bestiary for readers who want not only the creatures, but the stories that carried them forward.

Inside you'll find:
- Twenty legendary creatures from traditions around the world
- Twenty black-and-white illustrations
- Original, accessible retellings
- Source and context notes for every entry
- A selected bibliography for further exploration

Step across the threshold and discover the creatures waiting on the other side.
