Cryptid Zoo
A billionaire's cryptid theme park becomes a deadly trap for visiting employees.

The group expects a standard corporate incentive trip but encounters lethal threats instead. The narrative focuses on their desperate attempts to escape the facility while being hunted by the very creatures meant for entertainment. Griffiths uses this setup to critique the arrogance of those who believe they can contain nature through technology and money.
Published in 2018 by Severed Press, this work fits within the contemporary American horror market. It reflects modern anxieties about corporate control and technological overreach. The setting of a high-tech theme park grounds the supernatural elements in a recognizable, plausible reality for US readers.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Griffiths effectively blends modern technological themes with ancient fears, creating a tense atmosphere where high-tech security fails against primal chaos. The narrative excels in examining the consequences of corporate hubris and the arrogance of trying to control nature through money. By focusing on marketing employees forced into this scenario, the story highlights the vulnerability of individuals against systemic power. The structure relies on the stark contrast between the park’s polished facade and the lethal reality within. This approach suits readers who appreciate psychological horror alongside creature features. It avoids historical non-fiction or lighthearted tones, delivering a serious examination of exploitation. The confined setting amplifies the dread, making it a strong choice for fans of isolated location horror.
