Publisher Description

"Shadows Across the Globe: Spirits, Legends, and Mystical Guardians from Every Culture" invites you into a world where the line between the living and the supernatural blurs. From the icy forests of North America to the sun-soaked plains of Africa, this book takes you on a thrilling journey through the haunting and awe-inspiring spirits that have shaped human folklore for centuries.

Explore the skeletal Wendigo stalking the snowy wilderness, hear the mournful cries of La Llorona along the rivers of Latin America, and marvel at the majesty of the Thunderbird as it commands the stormy skies. Each chapter unveils the spirits and legends that guard sacred spaces, enforce moral codes, and remind us of our deepest fears and aspirations.

Through vivid storytelling and rich cultural insights, "Shadows Across the Globe" reveals how these supernatural beings embody universal themes of grief, greed, redemption, and resilience. Learn about the rituals and talismans that cultures use to protect themselves from—or invite—the unseen, and discover how these stories connect us to our ancestors and the mysteries of the natural world.

Whether you're a lover of folklore, a seeker of chills, or someone captivated by the mystical and the unknown, this book offers an unforgettable exploration of the spirits that haunt our imaginations and shape our cultural heritage.

Are you ready to uncover the shadows that stretch across every corner of the globe?
