4-6Not Near Normal: The Paranormal series.
This series introduces readers to six types of paranormal creatures. Each formulaic volume relates various accounts of reported encounters with ghosts, zombies, extraterrestrials, and the like. The texts are accessible and less sensationalized than the illustrations, which are a distracting and sometimes confusing mix of photographs and computer graphics. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these titles: Aliens and Other Visitors, Ghosts and Other Spirits of the Dead, Half-Human Monsters and Other Fiends, Vampires and Other Bloodsuckers, Werewolves and Other Shape-Shifters, and Zombies and Other Walking Dead.
