So I'm a big reader/researcher. I have this dream... a huge room dedicated to being a library in my house one day. It will be filled with all sorts of books, but one spot... one spot where my desk for writing and drawing will sit will be the occult, myths, lores etc. section.
I have The Vampire Book (encyclopedia, the one with Keifer Southerland on the cover), the Shapeshifter book (same company another movie on the cover), the Witchcraft book (encyclopedia same group) and then Buckland's guide to witchcaft. I also put my HP Lovecraft books and my RPG books there too XD. Almost forgot there's also a Ghost of Washington DC.
Any Recommenations... must? I still need a ghost encyclopedia and a one on the Fey, I know... Fire Away, I'm curious XD.

I know a couple of book that you might find interesting.
The Great Encyclopedia of Faeries by Pierre Dubois and Illustrated by Claudine and Roland Sebtier. I found in the children secion of a book shop when I was in Scottland on hoilday but it's very good.
The Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Spirits by Rosemary Ellen Guiley is a brilliant one for quick look ups. I've got the 2nd Edition which is a little out of date.
The Harper Element Encyclopedias are also very good. I have 'The Psychic World', 'Witchcraft', '5000 Spells' and 'Birthdays'. They also do one on Monsters but I haven't gotten that on yet.
I think these are all good for research but they do cost a lot. Each of the Harper ones cost about £30 but some book clubs do do offers on them (that's how I got mine).
