GET INSIDE GRIMM.
 
NBC’s hit television series Grimm pits modern detective Nick Burkhardt of the Portland Police against a cast of terrifying villains—lifted directly from the pages of classic fairytales. In the world of the show, the classic stories are actually a document of real events, and Nick himself is descended from a long line of guardians, or Grimms, charged with defending humanity from the mythological creatures of the world.
 
From The Big Bad Wolf to Sleeping Beauty, The Mythology of Grimm explores the history and folkloric traditions that come into play during Nick’s incredible battles and investigations—tapping into elements of mythology that have captured our imaginations for centuries.

Praise for The Mythology of Grimm

Praise for THE MYTHOLOGY OF SUPERNATURAL:

"Using Supernatural as a framework, Mr. Brown's book provides a primer on demons, angels, and the tools used to summon and smite them. Mr. Brown's easygoing narrative style makes the sometimes complex twists, turns, and relationships of myths and legends accessible...an intelligent, interesting, and entertaining read."--New York Journal of Books

"[D]eciphers many of the myths, religious practices, and beliefs on the show...Even if you have never watched Supernatural, THE MYTHOLOGY OF SUPERNATURAL: THE SIGNS AND SYMBOLS BEHIND THE POPULAR TV SHOW will appeal to anyone interested in the supernatural."--FreshFiction.com
