About this book

About this Cryptids mythology guide

Glimpsed at the treeline, photographed out of focus, never caught. The complete guide to the cryptids the world keeps seeing but cannot explain.

Somewhere between zoology and folklore lives a menagerie of creatures that science does not recognise and millions of people swear they have seen. Cryptids are the animals of rumour: glimpsed at the treeline, photographed out of focus, reported again and again across centuries and continents, never caught.

This is the complete guide to the world's most famous cryptids. Bigfoot in the forests of the Pacific Northwest; the Yeti on the slopes of the Himalayas; the Loch Ness Monster in the cold Scottish deep; the Mothman of West Virginia; the Chupacabra of the Americas; the sea serpents, thunderbirds and lake monsters reported the world over. For each, the book lays out the famous sightings, the history of the legend, the hoaxes and the honest mysteries, and the folklore the creature grew out of.

This is not a book of true believers or debunkers. It takes the reports seriously as documents, traces where each story comes from, and lets the reader weigh the evidence. Every case cites its sources.

Delivered as a print-quality PDF within 24 hours of purchase.
