Cryptid Club

Sarah Andersen

4.29 AVERAGE


Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review!

I've been a fan of Sarah Andersen's comics for a long time, and I found the Cryptid Club on Instagram. The series follows a group of popular cryptid friends as they try to overcome their insecurities, socialize with humans, evade humans, date, and parent. Just like us! This book is a compilation of those comic strips, plus some additional, exclusive strips and illustrations.

Fans of the supernatural in particular will love this charming, laugh-out-loud book. It was a very quick read - I finished it in a sitting and wished it was longer! It's reasonably easy to understand, but you do need to have a basic knowledge of cryptid culture to get the references. Most of the book is PG, but there's a strip that mentions anal. The illustrations are done in Andersen's style and fully coloured.

I would have loved it if the strips had been grouped thematically, or if there had been a longer story included, but this would still make a lovely present for any humour fans!
