I can think of at least two DMs who will be receiving this book as a Christmas/Yule gift from me. Mark Mercier, Mobile, AL Anyone with an interest in dragons will enjoy this book.
If you have any interest in the legends and lore of dragons, this book is for you. I have never seen a more complete discussion of dragons, from around the world, and through the ages. West’s Traveling Sideshows and Animal MenagerieĪcclaim for Dragonlore by Ash DeKirk: I just received the book today, and I’ve had a hard time putting it down. “Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, get a copy now!” -Rick West, Dr. Not only a fascinating read but a comprehensive reference that you will find yourself going back to time and again. Bigfoot, Mermaids, Dragons and more, the Unicorn information alone is worth the price of admission. Nick Redfern author of Memoirs of a Monster Hunter and Three Men Seeking Monsters Oberon Zell-Ravenheart’s stunning new work lifts the curtain allowing the reader backstage to examine the elusive creatures of myths and legends. With entries on a dizzying array of beasts, such as the terrifying, cave-dwelling Aatxe of Spain and the Boroka of the Philippines-which has the unfortunate habit of dining upon human flesh as well as much welcome data on monsters of the movies and a rich array of drawings, photographs, maps, and more, A WIZARD’S BESTIARY is a book that is destined to become a true monster-hunting classic. The ghostly, black devil dogs of old England the bloodsucking, vampire-like Chupacabras of Puerto Rico or the many and mysterious long-necked serpents of the world’s lakes, lochs and oceans, Zell-Ravenheart’s title is one that I heartily recommend. Whether your interest focuses upon those elusive, hairy man-beasts such as Bigfoot and the Yeti Amber K, author of True Magick Oberon Zell-Ravenheart’s mighty tome is undoubtedly the one book that, more than any other, I was hoping someone, someday was finally going to write: namely, a definitive, encyclopedic study of the many and varied weird beasts, fabulous monsters, and diabolical creatures that are said to lurk in the darkened corners of our mysterious world.
Here is the man who recreated living Unicorns, who traveled to the remote South Seas in search of genuine Mermaids. John Michael Greer author of Monsters: An Investigator’s Guide to Magical Beings Oberon Zell! Who better to write such a book than this living legend from the magickal world. No monster hunter can afford to be without it. Loren Coleman, co-author, Creatures of the Outer Edge, Cryptozoology A to Z Lively, entertaining and informative, this is the book I wish I had when I first began researching the lore of the world’s magical creatures. This book shares overlooked insights and incredible clues for the casual reader or the dedicated student of cryptozoology. Cultural insights, ethnic folklore, native traditions, and magical tales mix in and have their place in this phantasmagoria involved in the study of hidden animals. Those of us who have been doing this for decades, as Zell-Ravenheart has, view the fantastic world of animal mysteries, ancient living wonders, and accommodating new species in different ways. Shuker, PhD author of The Beasts That Hide From Man As we stand at the edge of the vast unknown, we all look in to see and for some, to investigate cryptic animate enigmas. Joseph Nigg author of The Book of Fabulous Beasts This gorgeous, sumptuously-illustrated book is truly a stunning contribution to the cryptozoological and zoomythological literature, one that is destined to remain a standard reference work on these subjects for many years to come. A valuable encyclopedic addition to the ever-growing shelf of books on fantastic creatures. The colorful text and abundance of both traditional and contemporary illustrations capture the rich variety of animal forms that the human imagination has reshaped over millennia. Acclaim for the work A WIZARD’S BESTIARY is an ambitious and comprehensive compilation of imaginary-animal lore.
