Reviews

"For believers and non-believers alike, this book is an interesting look at the legendary creatures that run, crawl and fly throughout the 50 states."--James Madison University's The Breeze

"[Ocker's] breezy storytelling talents make for enjoyable reading."--Booklist

"I love folklore, so naturally, I also love cryptids, since they're basically the scary story versions of modern folklore. Which is precisely what I enjoyed about The United States of Cryptids..."--BoingBoing
