Back Cover Copy

Hidden from the eyes of mankind they lurk in the shadows. In remote parts of our planet they survive the passage of time. Brave men and women seek out these unknown creatures in a search for truth that is muddled in legends and folklore—scoffed at by modern science.

These are the tales of cryptozoology, the study of hidden and unknown animals. Living dinosaurs terrorize entire villages, hairy hominids defy logic, a beast tied to the very heart of man, a living fossil hunts the frozen tundra of Siberia, huge amphibians dominate a swamp and bring death to any who come near, alien airborne octopi trap their prey from above, el chupacabra infests a central American village, offshoots of humanity itself, creatures created from our own hidden psychic powers, and more!

Live the adventures! Breath the scent of fear! Run for your lives as award-winning editor Bruce Gehweiler brings you volume II of the Crypto-Critters anthology series! Join him and other highly-decorated writers like C.J. Henderson—the staggering talent behind the Teddy London supernatural mystery series: Jeffrey Thomas—the legendary creator of Punktown: James Chambers—the mastermind in control of The Midnight Hour series; Scott Thomas-current king of the short story: Graham Watkins-noted zoologist and associate of the J.B. Rhine Parapsychology Laboratories: Patrick Thomas—master of multiple series and creator of the beloved Murphy's Lore novels: Diane Raetz—grand mistress of the macabre: and last, but never least, John Sunseri—the hottest new author since Stephen King! These are the best players on the field today, which is why Bruce Gehweiler and Padwolf have gathered them together as the only group with a chance of topping the first volume in this already illustrious series.
