Cryptid Club

4.29 AVERAGE


‘Cryptid Club’ by Sarah Andersen is a collection of comics featuring monsters we aren’t sure exist.

Featuring creatures like Slenderman, Kraken, Bigfoot and others, we see the kind of social issues that we face. From awkward dating to not wanting to be around people, to taking terrible photos, this is a fun way to laugh at ourselves and find some new creatures to relate to.

I’ve liked the Sarah’s Scribbles comics by this author, and this was a fun and funny collection featuring some great characters.

One of the cutest- and funniest- little graphic novels I’ve read. Totally worth the read and a great addition to your “spooky season” shelf!

This was a cute, quick, and pretty fun read. I liked the sleep paralysis demon the best; he doesn’t get how scary he is.

Just the typical Sarah Andersen brand type of fun. Great comedic timing and wacky cryptid scenarios. Definitely good for a chuckle in a single sitting.

Everyone has social anxiety. Even your sleep paralysis demon! A series of little 4-panel comics about the trials of being a cryptic. Bigfoot can never take a good picture. Mothman only appears before disasters...so stop cutting your bangs! No one remembers Cthulhu's name. The Fresno Nightcrawlers...actually, they're doing great. Check out those sweet calves!

Not a single miss in this book. Nothing feels to obvious in setup, and then you get the punchline, and it's yet another delight. I'm especially a fan of the obscure reference to "Champ," New York's own version of Nessie. Andersen also includes obscure, newly, created cryptid "Siren Head," which had given me a new hyperfixation.

Yet another wonder from Sarah Andersen. A quick read, but a great way to lift your spirits. Including the paranormal kind.
