    Hello folks, I recently wanted to expand my knowledge on mythical creatures to use in writing stories. I seem to gravitate to the more common creatures like fairies, oni, giants, angels, tengu etc.

    I think it might be because of a lack of knowledge, which is why I would like some sort of encyclopedia about mythical creatures.

    So far I'm interested in:

    Michael Dylan Dylan Foster
    Pandemonium and Parade: Japanese Monsters and the Culture of Yokai

    Katharine Briggs
    The Fairies in Tradition and Literature (Routledge Classics)

    M. Belanger
    The Dictionary of Demons: Names of the Damned

    Any other suggestion about either better or more extensive resources on those topics, or about other cultures like german, korean etc would be appreciated

    1. I’d recommend looking into Jorge Luis Borges’ Book of Imaginary Beings! It covers creatures from all different cultures and mythologies, really interesting read.
