A Field Guide to Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angels and Other Subversive Spirits 42 reviews Carol K. Mack, Dinah Mack
Holt Paperbacks, 1999
Pleasantly surprised
+ Good read
I was pleasantly surprised at the range and number of little nasties in this book. It includes many i would not think to be here, and shows how many are alike. As some other have said, it doesnt go in depth, which would have been nice, but it DOES say how to defeat them, which i can attest work.
