Cari Dubiel’s I LOVED THE MOTHMAN explored the immersive world of cryptids through a variety of short stories. Now, Dubiel returns with another collection, branching from cryptids to monsters of international folklore and myth.

Join Mothman in his new role as a detective, guiding a set of three Chicago college students through an intriguing murder case. Watch as a roiling relationship between a Bigfoot father and his son comes to a head at a tense family dinner. Follow the terrifying Baba Yaga of Russian legend as she’s reincarnated into a millennial woman living in a cushy apartment building. Along with these favorites, eldritch horrors, the sad Pennsylvania Squonk, and more populate the tales in this book.

Take a break from reality and step into a collection illuminating the depth of emotion running through humanity’s shared past.
