Reviews

“☆☆☆☆☆ Karl Shuker praises a compendious collection of aquatic cryptids … I [have] been thoroughly entertained and educated reading this fine work …” – Fortean Times

“… provides about 100 accounts of monsters that live in water, including ocean creatures; the Loch Ness and related monsters; other inland water monsters; dragons and wurms; snakes and eels; creatures inhabiting caves, tunnels, and sewers; water gods, spirits, and mythological creatures; humanoids of the water; reptilians and alien influences; and theories, categorizations, and monsters and environmental pollution.” — Protoview Book News

““Monsters of the Deep” by Nick Redfern. This book is more cryptozoology than biography, but for fishing fans, that’s fine.” – Bookworm Sez
