Dear Curious Reader,

Maybe you've heard of the Black Dog of the Hanging Hills or the Winsted Wildman. But did you know that these are just a few of the mythical creatures that call Connecticut home?

It's true! The Nutmeg State is full of "cryptids" - or creatures that are believed to exist but never proven to exist. And all of these mysterious beings are documented right here, in this exhaustively researched and fully illustrated field guide.

Whether you're a newcomer to the field of cryptozoology or a veteran Sasquatch seeker, this is the only book you'll need to undertake your own search for CONNECTICUT CRYPTIDS!
