There is no way to rate this book. It was exactly what I expected from a self-published book on local cryptids. It’s the book equivalent of the shows the History Channel plays at 1am. So I would be hard pressed to actually recommend it. But I enjoyed reading it and learning local legends. Like - did you know that KY has the largest population of white-furred Bigfoots?

I don’t specifically believe in Bigfoot, or the Loveland Frogman, or the Harrington Lake Monster. But I do believe in the general idea that humans have a lot to learn and discover about the world we live in. Maybe the species that science hasn’t recognized yet aren’t exactly the ones in the book (or maybe they are) - but there is something out there left to discover, surely. And I enjoyed it in that spirit.

Wonderful read. Phenomenal inclusions to the various cryptids in Kentucky. Well-researched and accurately examined considering the topic. I loved reading the stories and history about each of these creatures. I also enjoyed the author’s commentary and theories surrounding them. I’m well versed in cryptozoology of the state and was excited to see a couple of things I had not yet heard about! I will definitely be adding this book to my personal library.
While researching for my own book, I was surprised to learn that this is one of the only books solely on Kentucky cryptids. Well done, Ron!

Quick read with some fun stories. Enjoyed this book, but not sold on all the critters in it.

Fun read. But many typos.

It was a quick easy read. Even tho it was interesting it’s not something I would reread. Would I read books similar to this? Probably, because it is interesting to learn about the different creatures. I don’t really believe all those creatures in the book are real.
