About

This anthology will be all about anything having to do with Cryptozoology: Bigfoot, the Lockness monster, el Chupacabra, etc. But I don't want it to be limited just to our modern day monsters so feel free to take it a step further and make up new creatures on new planets, space creatures that terrorize spaceships or whatever as long as these creatures stay within the same kind of skeptical reality our today monsters live in, i.e. most people in said culture or civilization do not believe in their existence. On the flipside, there has been many obscure cryptozoological creatures throughout the course of human history, so feel free to write stories based in any part of the timeline using these. Just note, there is a distinction between cyptozoological and mythological. I won’t be accepting the latter.
