Illustrated by
Karl Kwasny.
As the title suggests, this tongue-in-cheek handbook (companion to the Nightmares! trilogy) gives readers advice on how to conquer different kinds of nightmarish creatures encountered during sleep. Twenty-two sections illustrated in grayscale describe different "species," detail strengths and weaknesses, and offer tips and "fun facts." Occasional stories featuring familiar series characters confronting particular types of nightmares will entertain both established fans and new readers.
