Love it! The artwork is absolutely incredible, I can’t recommend it enough! Came on time, well packaged and well worth the wait since it was on preorder when I bought it. The myths, folklore and lore are interesting, especially if you’re into strange things, familiars, paranormal or supernatural.
Beautifully illustrated and gret written descriptions of all creatures, very interesting to read ,i bought 2 books so i could read one and keep one in unused perfect condition. Worth buying.
Absolutely beautiful artwork with print quality and binding to match, this is how all books should be. This was bought as a present for a family member who loves this kind of subject, and honestly I wish I’d bought a copy for myself now.
It is a sad affliction that most cryptozoology books are not well-illustrated, because they are written by fringe researchers who are unable to commission artists. But this book is very different, written and illustrated by a fine illustrator under the advice of a well-known researcher and zoologist. The subject matter is broad and eclectic, and the illustrations as usual are sublime. Johan's style is in many ways romantically tied to Kidby, Diterlizzi and Frazetta but with a style all its own. Bravo and excelsior!
Johan Egerkrans, totally awsome illustrated books are just so yummy to read see and enjoy. I have five now. 1. Vaesen 2. Norse Gods. 3.The Undead. 4.Dragons. 5. Crypto Zoology. The Quality tecture of Johans books are exceptional. The mythical and historic Norse ledgands of old to current, you can almost be inside the books and storylines yourself.
I purchased two books from this incredibly talented artist, and both are absolutely beautiful. I've already started looking through them, and I'm really excited to explore them further.
What impresses me most is how much attention they attract. I've had them sitting on my desk, and practically everyone who has seen them has stopped to comment on how interesting and beautiful they look.
The artwork is stunning, and the books are fascinating even before you start reading them. I'm extremely happy with both purchases and would definitely recommend this artist's work!
I bought this book for my Son at X ma's He has not seen it jet .I am very happy with the whole shopping experience.
I know he we love it because he is a big fan
Thank you
As always, Egerkrans has given us a beautifully illustrated and beautifully bound book that looks great on the shelf. The writing is well researched and playful, neither cynical nor overly credulous.
Johan Egerkrans is a critically acclaimed Swedish illustrator and author. Drawing and doodling has always been part his life – at age two he picked up a pencil and haven’t quite been able to put it down ever since.
