Reviews
"A deliciously nerdy chronicle that celebrates thinking about life beyond."-- Vice "Thoughtful and well-researched...a worthy addition to any cryptid enthusiast's library."-- AIPT Comics "[Ocker's] breezy storytelling talents make for enjoyable reading." --Booklist "I love folklore, so naturally, I also love cryptids, since they're basically the scary story versions of modern folklore. Which is precisely what I enjoyed about The United States of Cryptids."--BoingBoing "For believers and non-believers alike, this book is an interesting look at the legendary creatures that run, crawl and fly throughout the 50 states."--James Madison University's The Breeze
