I’m happy to announce my contribution to a special cryptid and monster themed issue of Contemporary Legend, Vol. 4 (2026): Monsters, Creatures, and Cryptids. I’m so excited to get this article out into the public sphere:
Pop Goes the Cryptid: The Evolution of Cryptozoology from Scientific to Social Download PDF.
All the other wonderful inclusions are also available for download at the main journal site.
Additionally, you can hear me discuss cryptids and adjacent topics on the April 19, 2026 episode of the AP Strange Podcast: Considering Cryptids with Sharon Hill.
2026 is proving to be a giant year for cryptids!
Hi Sharon what an interesting and entertaining podcast episode. Thanks for keeping us your fans in mind and providing the links to this kind of cryptozoological materials and considered views.
