— I killed one monster, and another appeared. Is this the witcher's nightmare?
— No, this is everyday life.
Geralt with Lugos the Blue's crew
Hey, traveler wandering through these cursed lands, where every bush hides a toothy death, there's something useful for...
you! It seems some witcher dropped this hefty little book. It's your lucky day that it caught your eye! "The Witcher Bestiary" – your rusty compass in the chaos of Andrzej Sapkowski, where drowners, basilisks, and other filth tear throats for a groat.
Evgeny Kot, this myth-digger, has gathered over a hundred creatures from books, games, and screens – each with a colorful face in the illustration, so you can aim well. He breaks them down to the bones: how they eat, how to cut them, and where this filth crawled out of ancient legends.
416 pages of harsh truths, without princess tales – just meat for those who survive. Read while some creature hasn't devoured you in the dark.
• Hundreds of creatures in detail: appearance, strength, vulnerabilities – everything to surely finish them off.
• Colorful illustrations: bright drawings of each nasty, just like in real life.
• Mythological roots: where these beings come from – from the folklore of the world, so you can know your enemy by face.
• From books, games, screens: monsters from the entire saga – both new and old, including fresh ones.
• Ability analysis: how they kill and how to kill them – a practical guide for the hunter.
In short, if you're not a coward or a fool, this book will make you a true monster hunter – or at least give you a chance to stay alive. Take it before the monsters take over!
This book is a true treasure for fans of the cheerful Witcher. The rustle of its thick pages (with handwritten notes in the margins from the former witcher owner) will transport you to the humid swamps of Velen or the frosty shores of Skellige. And the quality color printing will allow you to examine all the monsters very closely, so you miss nothing! Not to mention the beauty of the cover (which, by the way, feels like a wyvern's hide) is something to behold! Plus, so you always know which beast you stopped at and don't have to dog-ear the pages – there's a black satin ribbon bookmark!
