Wrong order

I ordered this and got a different book.

Loads of lore!

I'd first heard about this book on a "Supernatural" fansite, and right away, I knew it would make a great read and it was the kind of book the series begged to have written: something that cataloged and expanded on the lore of the dozens of creatures which the Winchester brothers have tussled with over the course of the series -- and a few they *haven't* tussled with yet, which makes me wonder what lies ahead for next season! The first person POV makes it seem like the boys are relating their experiences to you first hand, and the excerpts from John Winchester's journal give you all the details you could ask for on the creatures he's dealt with and the life of a hunter. An excellent addition to an excellent series!

Wonderfully put together

I simply love this book. It from the boys POV and its just wonderful. The information is very accurate ( I looked up some of it online and it was right on).

Awesome

I love this book and it is really cool the way it is written. I have so enjoyed reading it.

Perfectly written

Definately a must have book for all Supernatural fans. It explains all the myths that were the bases of the episodes in season one. Also, it is written in the Brothers point of view making it interesting to read. Highly Recommended

Everything you wanted to know about things that go bump in the night

This book is not just for those who are fans of the CW show Supernatural. Eric Kripke, creator of the show, prides himself on the validity of the legends and myths he uses in his show. This book gives background information about things encounted by the Winchesters with a few new critters added in. The text uses Sam and Dean's voices for each section and fans of the show can easily pick out which Winchester is speaking each time. This book is a must for those who want to learn more about urban legends and things that roam the night.
