Twenty-three years ago, Sam and Dean Winchester lost their mother to a demonic supernatural force. Following the tragedy, their father, John, set out to teach his boys everything about the paranormal evil that lives in the dark corners and on the back roads of America...and how to kill it.Fans of the blockbuster television phenomenon can rejoice! A one-of-a-kind compilation of all of Sam and Dean's demon-busting knowledge, The Supernatural Book of Monsters, Spirits, Demons, and Ghouls contains illustrations and detailed descriptions that catalogue the more than two dozen otherworldly enemies that most people believe exist only in folklore, superstition, and nightmares:vampires, ghosts, revenants, reapers, and even bloody clowns. You'll find within these pages Sam and Dean's notes, observations, and memories interwoven with sections of John Winchester's invaluable journal, making this book the perfect companion to every thrilling episode—and an essential weapon in the secret war against the hidden creatures of the darkness!

Supernatural is one of my all time favorite shows. I grew up with it and loved every second of it. So you can imagine my excitement when reading this book.
Overall, i really enjoyed this book. I treat it like a guide that I can always come back to, to refresh my memory or check on some information while watching one of the older episodes.
However, I am not a big fan of the writing style. It was not easy for me, personally. In the same chapter, you could have two paragraphs, one in first person and the other in third person. And the first person one could be either Sam or Dean. Truly confusing.
There was a misinformation/misinterpretation regarding Satan in Islam (I lost my Kindle notes on this after an update, so I'll try to pinpoint the problem and update my review accordingly, if need be). But that could be because you'd need to read the actual Quran to know more, and I figured most people would just use Google search. Which is not the best when it comes to religious matters. Still, it wasn't THAT big of a deal to me, since it is after all a work of fiction and I could enjoy it for what it is.
Giving it 4/5 stars because of the writing style and because it felt like it dragged on sometimes, instead of going straight to the point.
