Cool, added a few of these to my Amazon wish list, which I tend to buy 3-6 books from a month (not necessarily Cryptid books).

That is a nice picture of a wendigo but I don’t like the looks of those monster books. Too boring. I know I can’t make monsters to be what I want them to be but the monsters on Earth are boring and nasty. You don’t have a chance against the wendigo with your wits and sword, he’s gonna pulverize you. I have a few monster compendiums that I like but they aren’t like the ones listed here. I think the problem is that Earth monsters are too ethereal and demon-like, not physical enough. Maybe they are afraid of making a physical presence because they are afraid of how wily and tough and good people really are so they have to stick to the shadows. Maybe they know they would be in for the real battle then. They are cowards I guess.

The Devil's Ridge was alright, but the dialogue was pretty bad. It was kind of like the stuff you see in those trashy romance novels, which I read all the time.

Excellent list, and Chad Ament is certainly doing a great job. I would certainly love to see his Biofortean Review journals available in book form.
