Zoologica Fantastica: An Anthology of Strange Creatures in Classic Cryptofiction (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781616461638)

Zoologica Fantastica includes fifteen stories of devilish creatures, unknown species, and weird beasts from air, sea, and land. Cryptofiction is a form of science fiction, where the excitement of zoological discovery meets imaginative biology and adventure. The stories in this anthology arise from the pulps (primarily the 1920s and 1930s), the bedrock of today's speculative fiction. From giant insects to Sargasso Sea monsters, creatures from past eons, or horrors from the cavernous depths, these stories celebrate the as yet undiscovered creatures that hide in the far corners of our planet, waiting for unwary explorers to cross their paths.
