Publisher's Synopsis
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!
