Bestia Secretum: Further Explorations into Classic Cryptozoological Fiction

Bestia Secretum collects 15 tales of strange creatures haunting the farthest unexplored regions. Civilization encroaches on fiercely-guarded territories while encounters with the unknown offer surprising and dangerous glimpses of bizarre branches of the animal kingdom. From prehistoric survivors to creatures with extreme adaptations, uncanny intelligence to hidden terrors, these stories exemplify the imaginative bestiary of classic cryptozoological science fiction. The stories include newspaper fiction ('The Moa at Last', 'Spirit of the Woods', 'The Something in Black Swamp'), story magazine fiction ('The Horror of Johnson's Flats', 'A Horror of Darkness'), pulp magazine fiction ('The Ocean Leech', 'The Whistling Monsters'), and two novelettes ('The Water Devil' and 'Nightmare!').
