A Field Guide to Demons, Vampires, Fallen Angels and Other Subversive Spirits

This is an excellent summary of many folk tales about spirits, demons, cryptids, etc. from across the globe. I'm a little puzzled by people taking it as serious guide to dealing with these creatures. Setting aside whether or not such creatures exist, there is only the briefest discussion of what to do with each creature. These tactics and stratagems are clearly present in order to share more of the story. If you have an actual monster on your hands, you might need more research or to call someone trained to handle this (physician, clergy member, eccentric aunt, etc.)
