Everything's scarier at night. We know it's just biology--evolution predisposed us to the daylight hours--but that doesn't help us come to terms with our fear of the dark. Along comes Dorling Kindersley's Creatures of the Night, both terrifying and fascinating, to expose some of our fears and the myths and science behind them. DK's incredible mastery of video and special effects brings vampires, ghosts, and even Beowulf's Grendel seemingly out of the screen and into your racing heart, while the great research will have you thinking about these phenomena as never before. Some of the racier scenes, while not explicit, may not be appropriate for children, but the rest of us will find Creatures of the Night an exquisite look at the delights of fear.
