Cryptid Creature Bibliography

Curious?

BIBLIOGRAPHY?

Some reviewers and educational experts have expressed an interest in knowing what sources I used to create CRYPTID CREATURES: A FIELD GUIDE.

To keep the price point reasonable, my publisher opted to omit the information within the book. But the list is extensive and I include it below for your consideration!

Briefly, it includes 11 books (professionally published), 6 interviews I did, one-on-one, 146 articles, 22 websites and 14 videos. The websites are included with the articles below.

Thank you for caring about the young people we serve.
