Cryptozoology : Unknown Beasts of the World English 2026

What if there are animals that no one has ever seen? What if these secret creatures are hiding in the jungle, in the deep sea or in the secluded mountains? The search for these creatures is called cryptozoology.

Cryptozoology – Unknown Beasts of the World will introduce you to the animals and beasts lingering in the twilight zone between science and myth, the so-called cryptids. Some of them – like the Loch Ness Monster from Scotland or the Yeti from Himalaya – are well known by many across the world, while others – like the horned Emela Ntouka or the flying Ropen – are largely unknown.

Johan Egerkrans is one of Sweden’s most loved and appreciated illustrators and his books and illustrations are acclaimed everywhere. In his previous books, Egerkrans has taken on folkloric creatures, the Norse gods, undead horrors and dragons. This time, he is unlocking the thrilling world of cryptids, where everything is possible and nature is still full of mysteries.
