Foreword by Mitch Watson, Showrunner - Mystery Incorporated

Afterword by Scott Innes - Voice artist (Scooby, Shaggy and others)


For over half a century, a gang of teens - Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy - and their dog, Scooby, have captivated audiences with their supernatural sleuthing, operating under the banner of Mystery Incorporated. Yet the stories that have inspired the gang’s adventures are often much, much older. In this book, Mark Norman extensively explores the various myths and legends that the show’s writers have drawn on to deliver the wealth of memorable villains we’ve seen over the years. With insights from a number of these writers, as well as producers and other contributors, we learn how real-world folklore has influenced the show’s portrayals of ghosts, witches, monsters and more.


The combination of both popular culture and the author’s extensive knowledge of the kind of tales whispered about on dark nights is not only hugely entertaining but also utterly fascinating and will appeal to fans of the cartoon as well as anyone with an interest in the strange, the odd, the perplexing and the paranormal.
