About the author
The catalogue entry "Daniels Ian Curran Bob" combines the names of two writers, Bob Curran and Ian Daniels, credited together on a set of illustrated reference books from New Page Books: A Haunted Mind: Inside the Dark, Twisted World of H.P. Lovecraft, Man-Made Monsters: A Field Guide to Golems, Patchwork Soldiers, Homunculi, and Other Created Creatures, and Zombies: A Field Guide to the Walking Dead. Each book profiles a category of horror or folklore figure, tracing origins in myth, literature, and popular culture, from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos to golems and reanimated dead across different cultural traditions, paired with illustration. The books read as accessible reference guides for fans of horror fiction and folklore rather than academic studies, aimed at readers who want a survey of a monster type's history and variations across sources. They are best browsed together as a linked series from the same publisher and illustrator-writer pairing.
