''Encyclopedia Horrifica: The Terrifying TRUTH! About Vampires, Ghosts, Monsters, and More'' (also known as ''E.H.'' or ''EnHo_001'') is a hardcover book by Joshua Gee. The book is a nonfiction reference guide exploring "hundreds of fear facts—from aliens to zombies." It also features Special Investigations in search of real-life x-files such as a haunted house in New York and P. T. Barnum's Feejee Mermaid. In the book and on the (Website ), readers—usually addressed as "Fear Seekers"—have also discovered a complex hidden story about "Investigator Gee" that has spurred some debate. For example, the endpapers (inside the front and back cover) contain miniaturized scans of more than 80 pages apparently torn from the author's notebook. Similar to the opening credits of the movie ''Se7en'', each of these notebook pages in turn reveals a new detail about Gee or the subjects covered in the book. In May 2008, Encyclopedia Horrifica won the Children's Book Council "Book of the Year" Award. == ''Critical reception'' ==
Reviews to date have been positive with substantial praise devoted to the author's horror-humor writing and the book's design, which includes a holographic cover featuring a skull. Although marketed to readers as young as 8 and 9 years old, ''Encyclopedia Horrifica'' has also attracted a cult following among teen and adult sci-fi/fantasy/horror fans, receiving favorable reviews from genre publications such as ''Rue Morgue'' and ''Apex Digest''. This is partly due to its (often subtle) tributes to TV shows and movies such as ''Kolchak: The Night Stalker'', ''Scream'', ''Ghostbusters'', ''The X-Files'', ''In Search of...'', ''The Shining'', Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday The 13th and especially ''The Silence of the Lambs'' (the death's head moth on the title page is the "official E.H. mascot").
