Karl Shuker's Alien Zoo

by Karl Shuker, Bob Rickard, David Sutton

Ever since 1997, 'Alien Zoo', Dr Karl Shuker's cryptozoology news column has been a regular feature in Fortean Times - the world's premier magazine devoted to unexplained phenomena of every kind, and inspired by the writings and researches of scientific iconoclast Charles Fort. Dr Shuker has also penned many longer, more detailed 'Lost Ark' articles for Fortean Times, surveying an immense diversity of controversial and newly-revealed creatures worldwide. Today, not only are both of these long-running FT series hailed as cryptozoological classics but now, for the very first time, an extensive compilation of each of them has been meticulously prepared by Dr Shuker, incorporating numerous remarkable illustrations (including many rare or previously-unpublished examples), and presented here in book form.
