Truporot and other autobiographies

An ordinary house on Halloween becomes a conduit for something primordial and eerie; a strange tower unexpectedly appears next to another, inside which dwells a real monster; a son arrives in the hometown of his recently deceased father and discovers... that everything here is connected to the legend of an ancient titan named Truporot, who devours the bodies of the living and the souls of the dead; an old nanny suggests the boy she is watching over to play a game and find a mysterious creature dwelling in the mirror that can grant any wishes. All this and much more awaits you in the worlds of John Langan, where the most diverse monsters live: vampires, banshees, carnivorous giants, manticores, and even Godzilla. And all of them turn out to be much scarier and more mysterious than in the legends.
