This guide compiles eyewitness reports, articles, and artist renderings of creatures, legends, oddities, and mysteries from around the United States, offered in the hope that if YOU encounter any of these creatures, you'll be armed with the information you'll need to survive. Be warned, be prepared, and most importantly, be curious! This is the first of a 4-volume set, featuring one creature from each state, beautifully illustrated by a comic artist FROM that state. Remember, the purpose of this field guide is not to prove or disprove—it is simply to observe, record, and wonder. So pack your pencil, and keep your eyes on the treeline.
