If I Die Before I Wake: Tales of Cryptid Chaos (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968532192)

Some legends never die...they hunt.

Across forests, deserts, oceans, and lonely backroads, something ancient is stirring. Creatures whispered about in campfire stories and buried in folklore are stepping out of the shadows-and they are hungry.

If I Die Before I Wake, Volume 10: Tales of Cryptid Chaos unleashes a chilling anthology of cryptozoological horror from some of today's most imaginative dark fiction authors. From towering beasts that stalk remote wilderness, to unseen horrors lurking beneath murky lakes, to shapeshifting nightmares hiding in plain sight, these stories drag the world's most terrifying cryptids out of myth and into modern reality.

Whether you're fascinated by cryptids, obsessed with unexplained phenomena, or simply love creature-feature horror, this anthology will make you rethink every rustle in the woods and every shadow on the trail.

The line-up includes a foreword by Dan Franklin and stories by Edmund Stone, Bill Mulligan, Lauren Talveryn, R.A. Clarke, Armand J. Asamar, Kristy Sherrod, Heather Ann Larson, Ross Killey, Jon Negroni, Mike West, MJ Mars, David Rider, and Renee M.P.T. Kray.

Perfect for fans of cryptid horror, folklore-based fiction, creature features, supernatural thrillers, and monster survival stories.
