Our current cryptozoology book list features the titles
below—with more to come!
|
|
|
Our first three titles are by Loren
Coleman, an acknowledged expert in the field of cryptozoology and fortean phenomena investigations…
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Loren Coleman's highly-praised, 1983 cryptozoology classic, Mysterious America, has been thoroughly updated for this revised edition. This new edition contains an invaluable, never-before-published index; two completely new chapters, "Giant Catfish" and "Minnesota Iceman"; a new list, "The American Lion," with 141 entries; and several extensively rewritten chapters.

| On November 15, 1966, this huge, red-eyed creature with wings appeared over Point Pleasant, West Virginia. But contrary to popular belief, Mothman is not unique. Here for the first time, cryptozoologist Loren Coleman looks at the precursors of Mothman, then brings the story up to date, detailing the sightings of the spawn of Mothman, some as recent as November 2001.

|
| Bigfoot has been a legendary figure in American folklore for almost a century. A
name that is used to describe almost any large, hairy biped in North America
ever since it was first introduced into common terminology, Bigfoot has always
been a source of curiosity for scientists. Is Bigfoot some sort of ape? How does
it survive? How does it reproduce? Does Bigfoot even exist? |
|
|
Our next title is by Texas journalist and fortean investigator
Rob Riggs…
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In the Big thicket, the unknown makes profound intrusions into what we call "reality." There are cryptozoological wonders in this region of East Texas and in Southwestern Louisiana—"ghost lights," phantom Indians, howling ape-like "wild men," and fireballs that streak through the nighttime skies —that defy both our common sense notions of space-time and all attempts at scientific explanation.

Karl P.N. Shuker, Ph.D., is a zoologist and an expert
in cryptozoology, animal mythology, and wildlife
anomalies. The author of ten books on mysterious
phenomena, his writing has also appeared in Fate,
Strange Magazine, and Fortean Times.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Shuker has collected evidence of mysterious, somewhat
mythical creatures and provides entertaining, solidly
researched tales about extraordinary animals such as the
dobhar-chú, Ireland’s murderous master otter;
Mongolia’s death worm, which reportedly electrocutes its
victims; sea serpents from around the world; hairy
reptiles, furry fish, living unicorns, and more. Shuker
also provides a supplement to Bernard Heuvelmans’s
checklist of cryptozoological animals.

J.P. O’Neill spent her formative years in the past
playground of the New England sea serpent, Swampscott,
Massachusetts, and has never stopped hoping to catch a
glimpse of “His Snakeship.” |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is it a strange mammal related to the seals, a descendant of
a prehistoric reptile, or a new, unidentified animal?
Whatever it is, or was, the witnesses call it a sea serpent,
and it has left a trail of clues and controversy going back
three centuries. O’Neill draws on the historical record as
well as previously unpublished first-hand accounts to
chronicle more than 230 sightings of the mysterious marine
creatures inhabiting the Gulf of Maine.

Nick Redfern is the author of the bestselling books
A Covert Agenda: The British Government's UFO Top Secrets Exposed, The FBI Files: The FBI's UFO Top Secrets Exposed, and
Cosmic Crashes: The Incredible Story of The UFOs That Fell to Earth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
On an odyssey of oddities that would take them all to the very limits of their imagination (and inebriation), bestselling author Nick Redfern teamed up with professional monster-hunters Jonathan Downes
and Richard Freeman. For six weeks in the summer of 2001,
the intrepid-yet-hard-partying trio rampaged across the
remote wilds of Great Britain in hot pursuit of werewolves,
lake monsters, giant cats, ghostly devil dogs, and ape-men. |

What does the word
“cryptozoology” mean?
It’s the study of the reports of so-called legendary animals--such as Bigfoot,
Sasquatch, and the Loch Ness monster--as recounted by native observers and other eyewitnesses with the express purpose of evaluating the possibility of their existence. A cryptozoologist is one who devotes himself or herself to this task, which science tends to frown upon by the way, even though this was, in fact, the original methodology used by zoologists. |
