[NetGalley ARC]
Amazing book on cryptids and creatures from folklore and mythology ALL OVER THE WORLD by a queer author and a diverse cast of talented contributing illustrators. You would want a colour e-reader for this. My only critique is I wish the notes were presented as footnotes for an easier reading experience instead of separate pages in the appendix section.
I would definitely buy the physical book for my humble home library.
