Produktbeschreibung

An ordinary man discovers a hidden world of wondrous supernatural creatures-and an unexpected home-in this enchanting contemporary fantasy debut. Cryptonaturalist: one who studies cryptids; an expert in or student of supernatural history. After a series of inexplicable encounters upends his life, Green finds himself alone and terrified in the Appalachian mountains, full of questions about the transformation he's undergoing and the impossible creatures he's starting to see. When he meets a hermit named Valentina, he realizes that something more than chance has brought him to her door. For she has devoted centuries to researching the hidden world of cryptids that Green is only now beginning to perceive. As Green begins his studies beneath her watchful eye, he comes face to face with time-stopping giant moths, cyclops squirrels, and doorways to elsewhere. Along the way come clues about his own nature and the powerful beings who led him here-and, most wondrous of all, a sense of fulfillment like nothing he's felt before. But Green's new happiness promises to be short-lived, because alongside these marvels lurks a deadly threat to this place he's already come to love. Featuring incredible creatures and an unforgettable cast of characters, Strange Animals is a charming, addictive fantasy about the magic all around us.

Autorenporträt

Jarod K. Anderson is a strange mix of fantasy nerd, nature writer, podcaster, poet, and erstwhile academic. He once accidentally picked up a rattlesnake and has slept in the branches of a maple tree more than most writers. He created and voices TheCryptoNaturalist podcast, a show about real love for imaginary nature, and he regularly shares his poems and prose on social media. He has published three books of poetry as well as the memoir Something in the Woods Loves You, about his lifelong struggle with depression and the healing power of the natural world. He has an MA in early modern English literature and insists he's more fun than that makes him sound. He lives with his wife and son in a little white house tucked between a park and a cemetery.
