''Perfect...quick reference in case you bump into the undead and need to brush up''

The Zombie Command review: ''Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies (oh my!) Three of the most famous monstrosities in history make up the meat of the Compendium Monstrum (CM). Alas, considerable focus is given over to vampires (about half the book) with the remainder being 60/40 split werewovles and zombies, respectively. Given that this is Zombie Command however, means we will focus on the zombies (they’re more interesting anyhow.)''

''May be one of the cheekiest and the most entertaining...''

Says Book Legion, ''There are a lot of recent book releases that take a humorous angle with horror. You have the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies series and the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Not to mention all types of ‘How to Survive a Zombie Attack’ type of books. This one may be one of the cheekiest and the most entertaining....

''What is the COMPENDIUM MONSTRUM? It’s a great pocket-sized book. . . [that] serves as a reference or field guide to monsters. It gives everything from history to practical advice for dealing with monsters to maps of their known whereabouts. It's like a supernatural travel guide. The inside appearance of the book gives it the aged look of a vintage book . . . This just adds to the fun factor. This is basically your little black book guide to the world of the super-weird and supernatural! It’s a fun item to have lying around to flip through. It’d fit in your purse or your pocket. Definitely the sort of thing you’d give as a gift to someone. What, you want to give someone a dictionary or encyclopedia? Yeah, but do they have a ‘Vampire Hunter's Guide to Transylvania’? I think not! Instructions on what to do and not to do if you meet a Vampire face to face? The COMPENDIUM does!

Go buy it, you know you want to.''

''Perfect size to tuck into your vampire killing kit or carry-on''

''[It’s] one of those books that once you get it, you don’t know how you lived without it . . .,'' Says Dahlia Jane of Upon a Midnight Dreary. ''The book is a digest of centuries of wisdom passed down about vampires, werewolves, and zombies. I’m astonished with how much information is packed into such a small volume. About six inches long and four inches wide, it’s the perfect size to tuck into your vampire killing kit or carry-on.''
