From the Inside Flap

(back cover)
Why doesn't Dracula have any friends?
Because he's a pain in the neck!

But he's only one among dozens of creepy creatures who lurk in the pages of this book. Meet the horrifying Frankenstein Monster . . . wander through spooky tunnels beneath the streets of Paris where you'll bump into clanking and rattling Skeletons from the Empire of the Dead . . . stumble against a spine-chilling Zombie . . . come face-to-face with a terrifying Werewolf -- and live to tell about it. You'll find all of them and many more in this bizarre but spellbinding book. But remember that it's safer to meet them in these pages than it is to encounter them on some dark and scary night!
