Book Description

At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is the only professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. We have carried out expeditions to Sumatra (2003 and 2004), Mongolia (2005), Puerto Rico (1998 and 2004), Mexico (1998), Thailand (2000), Florida (1998), Nevada (1999 and 2003), Texas (2003 and 2004), Illinois (2004), and Gambia (2006) Since 1994 we have been publishing the world's only dedicated cryptozoology magazine, Animals & Men. This volume contains fascimile reprints of issues 6 to 10 and includes articles covering The Owlman; also the Humped Elephants of Nepal, Mystery Cats, Sabre-toothed cats, Mysterious hominids of Africa, The British Nandi Bear?, Shuker's 'Crypto': a Bibliography of Cryptozoology books - parts 1 to 3 (by Dr Karl Shuker), Strangeness in Scotland, On collecting a cryptid, Bodmin Leopard Skull, Green Cats and Dogs, Mystery Whales, Quagga Project, Malayan Man Beast, Hong Kong Tiger, Horseman of Lincolnshire, Scottish BHM, Congo Peacock, Mystery Moth of Madagascar, Bengal Leopard Cats, The Derry, Wild Boars in Kent, a new Irish lake monster, and the truth about the Essex Beach "mermaid" Corpses.

This review is from: ANIMALS & MEN - ISSUES 6 - 10 - THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST (Paperback)

Animals & Men is the regular magazine of the British-based monster-hunting group, the Center for Fortean Zoology. Articles in the magazine regularly cover such issues as Bigfoot, lake monsters, the Yeti, sea serpents, and more bizarre entities such as werewolves and dragons.

The earlier issues of the magazine are becoming harder and harder to find; so to have them now available in a superbly packaged production is a very welcome development.

If you haven't seen these gems in their original format, now is the time to see what you have missed. You won't be disappointed.
