I Know What I Saw: Modern-Day Encounters with Monsters of New Urban Legend and Ancient Lore (Kindle Edition) At another extreme of the cryptozoological spectrum is this “sharp analysis of the quest for unreal critters” ( The Wall Street Journal), which takes a highly skeptical look at the science—and pseudoscience—behind cryptids, the arguments both for and against their existence, and the people who continue to believe in them, despite evidence to the contrary. This is the book for those who enjoy reading about cryptids…but aren’t quite buying their existence.

City of the Beasts by Isabel Allende

As a big fan of cryptids like Nessie, mermaids, and catamounts, I was all in when I saw there was a book about Mothman. Patricia Thang is an educator located in Los Angeles. Though a native Angeleno through and through, her heart also belongs to Tokyo, where much of her family is from. Besides books, she is an enthusiastic devourer of many things, including podcasts, television, and J-pop. She realizes there’s not enough time in the world to consume all of that content, but she’s trying anyway. Other endeavors to which she has dedicated herself include cuddling her dogs until they’re annoyed and taste-testing every vegan ice cream she can find. It is 1950. In a devastating moment of clarity, Margery Benson abandons her dead-end job and advertises for an assistant to accompany her on an expedition. She is going to travel to the other side of the world to search for a beetle that may or may not exist.

Cryptids: 40 A Crochet World of Creepy Creatures and Cryptids: 40

This picture book is sweet and heartwarming. It tells the story of two young hikers who go into the woods in search of a Yeti. Yeti is afraid and doesn't want to show himself, so they write letters to him to try to get him to come out of the woods. During the hike, a snowstorm is coming, and the hikers aren't ready. Yeti, on the other hand, proves to be a good friend and comes up with a way to help the hikers while still being hidden. The Cryptid Files series by Jean Flitcroft More riveting than ever! Once again Jeff Wamsley has put together the definitive, absolutely must-have book on one of the… I’m a lifelong monster fiend. I love horror and sci-fi, and I especially love stories that really dig into characters and how they smash into each other. My favorite scary books (and movies, etc.) are funny, and my favorite funny books are kinda scary. It can be super healing and empowering to read books about terrible things that are handled with a heaping scoop of empathy and humor and absurdity. Author, investigator, and creature expert Linda S. Godfrey brings the same fearless reporting she lent to Real Wolfmen to this essential guide, using…

In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of Sasquatch by John Zada

Join two bug friends as they learn about the science of the world around them and the meaning of friendship in this early graphic novel series perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly! There are a couple of things. There’s a weird relationship between science and belief in America. We go through periods of extreme belief in religion, then we’ll go through periods that are more secular, then we’re trying to do both at the same time. Other cultures are better at embracing the spiritual side, so monsters to them are kind of like, of course there’s monsters. The unicorn and the dragon are still the two most ubiquitous animals to emerge from the host of fantastic creatures that began spreading through popular books, art, and film in the late 1970s. Years before the unicorn’s commercial popularity, Odell Shepard’s classic book, The Lore of the Unicorn, traced the millennia-long cultural transformations of the mysterious animal, beginning with an early traveler’s tale of the wild asses of India. But the biggest difference between the way America does it and what other countries do with their monsters is that we invented marketing. We are the marketers. When we find a monster, we’re not just throwing hunting parties to find it. We’re throwing parties, we’re theming balls and giveaways, and all the restaurants are putting themed meals on their menu. That’s why these festivals come around and these statutes come around, because we’re marketing this thing. That’s really the biggest difference, between how we handle our monsters and how other countries handle theirs. They learn that Sasquatch is real, but these are not the shy creatures of myth & legend. A madness has claimed them, erasing their once peaceful nature and leaving in its wake a ravenous horde of cryptids that's about to descend upon the unsuspecting residents of a remote town.

There has been a terrible mistake. Instead of having thirty classrooms side by side, Wayside School is thirty storeys high! (The builder said he was sorry.)
