Critics Review
The well-written entries provide a wealth of details on geography, history, and folklore, including alternative names, related cryptids, habitats, recent sightings, and suggestions for further reading … The result is a work that is fun, thorough, and thoughtful … An engrossing overview of cryptozoology, cryptids around the world, and the field’s key issues. * Library Journal *
There is a lot to like in this book; as a reference work it is extremely thorough and it has many useful lists and indices, including a full bibliography … An excellent guide to cryptids for those with either a casual or a keen interest in the field. It provides a wealth of material and suggestions for follow-up reading and information. I enjoyed discovering cryptids I’d not heard of previously and many of DeMello’s theories on the subject gave me food for thought. * Fortean Times *
