Freaky Folklore, a book for the cryptozoologist lovers, filled with artwork and fantastical stories, shares the stories and facts of the cryptids around the world.
There was a lot of variety in the cryptids they shared, ranging from America's Wendigo to Europe's El Cucuy to werewolves. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the mini stories accompanied with each creature, and learning about the many cryptids I never even knew about. While they did stick to mostly the Americas, it was entertaining to venture across the world.
I would've loved to more of the facts surrounding each creature, and/or even longer stories. Their narrative and stories helps readers delve into the world, and the artwork is incredible.
Thank you to NetGalley, Darkness Prevails, and Carman Carrion for this eARC.
