The famed trailblazer Taramoc Eslin gathered information from throughout the worlds and half-worlds to bring you this: Not just another bestiary, but the bestiary. The Teratology. The greatest resource on the creatures of the Actuality ever attempted by any vislae. Find new insights into the realms beneath each sun, along with hundreds of creatures, spirits, and other entities that inhabit those realms, painstakingly (and dangerously) researched and described. Any vislae venturing from Indigo will find this tome an indispensible resource. Goetics in particular will prize its trove of daringly-acquired insights into summonable beings. And even those who remain within Satyrine will discover many creatures they had not even imagined could be found so close.

Stars: due to lack of photos representing monsters
Love Monte Cook Games, from Numenera, The Strange, to Invisible Sun - the latter of which this review is about.Its a monster manual - tons of stats, amazing ideas... trulyBut... guess I got spoiled with D&Ds monster manual - a photo for each creature... this is not like that.And seeing that it was not the case, it was disappointing the quality of images for those included.(More flat the art - even one picture of a silhouette of a cat) :pAgain... book great for info, some cool pics - but missed it with the art here.

If Alejandro Jodorowsky and Terry Gilliam made a Monster Manual this would be it
Tons of great ideas and one of a kind beings to have in your IS game or to mine for other settings. The artwork is as lovely as to be expected by a MCG gaming book but it really would have been nice to have had more art and that is truly my only complaint. I received my book as part of the kickstarter and have been really impressed by how that has been handled. Looking forward to the next books!
