No monster hunter can afford to be without it. Loren Coleman, co-author, Creatures of the Outer Edge, Cryptozoology A to Z Lively, entertaining and informative, this is the book I wish I had when I first began researching the lore of the world’s magical creatures.

This book shares overlooked insights and incredible clues for the casual reader or the dedicated student of cryptozoology. Cultural insights, ethnic folklore, native traditions, and magical tales mix in and have their place in this phantasmagoria involved in the study of hidden animals. Those of us who have been doing this for decades, as Zell-Ravenheart has, view the fantastic world of animal mysteries, ancient living wonders, and accommodating new species in different ways. Shuker, PhD author of The Beasts That Hide From Man As we stand at the edge of the vast unknown, we all look in to see and for some, to investigate cryptic animate enigmas. Joseph Nigg author of The Book of Fabulous Beasts This gorgeous, sumptuously-illustrated book is truly a stunning contribution to the cryptozoological and zoomythological literature, one that is destined to remain a standard reference work on these subjects for many years to come. A valuable encyclopedic addition to the ever-growing shelf of books on fantastic creatures. The colorful text and abundance of both traditional and contemporary illustrations capture the rich variety of animal forms that the human imagination has reshaped over millennia. Acclaim for the work A WIZARD’S BESTIARY is an ambitious and comprehensive compilation of imaginary-animal lore.
