"It's a great balance between fascination with monsters and lore and a skeptical inquiry into how widespread beliefs can be overturned by evidence and rational inquiry--a real 'magic of reality' book."-- Boing Boing "From mermaids and unicorns to Cyclops and giant squid to vampires and zombies, Giandelli's breathtaking illustrations and Cali's illuminating stories about the origin of each mythic creature bring to life the beings that haunt our collective conscience, as well as those we secretly fear -- or hope -- exist in some mystical corner of what we concede is reality."-- Maria Popova, Brainpickings, "It's a great balance between fascination with monsters and lore and a skeptical inquiry into how widespread beliefs can be overturned by evidence and rational inquiry—a real 'magic of reality' book."— Boing Boing "From mermaids and unicorns to Cyclops and giant squid to vampires and zombies, Giandelli's breathtaking illustrations and Cali's illuminating stories about the origin of each mythic creature bring to life the beings that haunt our collective conscience, as well as those we secretly fear — or hope — exist in some mystical corner of what we concede is reality."— Maria Popova, Brainpickings, "It's a great balance between fascination with monsters and lore and a skeptical inquiry into how widespread beliefs can be overturned by evidence and rational inquiry--a real 'magic of reality' book."-- Boing Boing
