Publisher's Note The seven mysterious creatures presented in this collection of stories have been described by scientists who search for hidden animals and by people who claim to have seen these "monsters". Engaging stories are accompanied by full-color and sepia illustrations and each story ends with current scientific research and speculation about each creature.
Industry Reviews The combination of historical evidence and fiction in these stories about creatures from Bigfoot to Kongamato (a pterodactyl-like creature reportedly from southern Africa) make this collection an "uncommon hybrid [that] should find a ready audience waiting to be scared," said PW.
