Discover the hidden world of the supernatural and unexplained in this definitive guide to the world’s darkest wonders.  
 
Hollow’s Hauntology is a richly illustrated compendium that uncovers how 80 legendary beings – from blood‑drinking revenants to shape‑shifting gods – have shaped storytelling across history.  
 
Across eight immersive chapters, the book explores humanity’s oldest fears and fascinations, including:  

• The global origins of vampires, revealing how figures from the štrigon of Croatia to China’s jiangshi emerged from shared anxieties around death and disease. 
• The deep psychological roots of animal transformation, showing how werewolves, shapeshifters and divine hybrids embody our shifting relationship with nature and identity. 
• How demonology evolved, documenting the political, religious and cultural forces that transformed gods into demons and reshaped moral cosmologies. 
• Formless, non‑corporeal entities and how these uncanny beings without faces or bodies have haunted collective memory. 
• Forgotten and contested deities, charting how divine figures change as cultures shift.
