Posted by: Craig Woolheater on February 12th, 2015

Newly reissued from Anomalist Books:

This new edition is available in paperback as well as Kindle from Amazon.com.

This pioneering classic in the field of cryptozoology covers not only the Loch Ness monster, but lake monsters from all over the world-from the Ogopogo of Canada and the “Patagonian Plesiosaur” of Argentina, to Idaho’s “Slimey Slim”‘ and Sweden’s “Storsjo,” along with the “Bunyip” of Australia and the strange monsters of South Africa. Peter Costello provides a detailed and fascinating overview of lake monster lore-and gives a convincing explanation of the identity of these elusive denizens.

This new edition contains a new Afterword by the author, an Introduction by Loren Coleman, and a Preface by Bernard Heuvelmans, the “father of cryptozoology,” who wrote: “Peter Costello authoritatively surveys the whole subject, supporting his arguments with a substantial bibliography, and displaying both the elegance of the born writer and the sense of humor essential to every occasion.”

About the Author:

Peter Costello is an author, critic, and editor. He was born and educated in Dublin, but is a graduate of the University of Michigan in the USA. He is the author of many books in the connected fields of history and biography. His recent account of the creator of Sherlock Holmes as real-life sleuth, Conan Doyle Detective, has achieved international success. He is currently based in Ireland, where he is the Literary Editor of a weekly national newspaper.

    I own the original and always appreciated it as an archive of lake critters. It was a good book for a jump point for water cryptids. I just might check it out…
