I know this might be a long shot, but do any of you know of any decent books that deal with legendary monsters/creatures or folklore ones?

I have been getting into this kind of stuff and I figure I would ask you guys before I went to /x/, they are usually of no help

Or, if you want to read copycat bullshit, Harry Potter.
