Take a creepy cross country roadtrip with The United States of Cryptids is a creepy cross-country roadtrip
Umm - is it by any chance a creepy cross country roadtrip? I wasn’t sure on that point. ![]()
ETA it is, of course, a creepy, cross-country road trip. Quite different.
It’s A+B testing of two headline versions. For when you have no time to do A/B
I prefer option C (see above ETA) ![]()
But they didn’t test that one. ;-(
Big Ocker fan here. Followed his blog oddthingsiveseen for years. Now that the family knows his books are sure-fire hits for Christmas and my birthday, I read a couple of his books a year. Looking forward to this one appearing under the tree!
We love books like this, so I’ll hafta hip my BF ![]()
BTW, “chupacabras” is the singular form of that singular cryptid.
It’s a shame they don’t have merch with the illustrations
I was worried I had a stroke.
The layout is a delightful tribute to pen and paper RPG books of the 80s and the accompanying travelog gives me very strong Cults of Prax* vibes! Neat!!!
*A RuneQuest supplement, published by Chaosium, adding additional religious and mythical content that featured a travelog of a traveling character that was encountering the various religions of the region of Prax, in addition to the game rules)
ETA: Or it might just be the use of a brown ink. Chaosium fans know what I am talking about
