ShukerNatureBook 2 is here! –
which also just so happens to be Book #30, my 30th published book in
31 years of cryptozoological research and writing (and not counting those many additional volumes
for which I have acted as consultant and/or contributor rather than sole author)

Here be monsters! Following the success of my
first ShukerNature book, published by
Coachwhip
in April of this year, I now take great pleasure in inviting readers to pay a
second visit in hard-copy format to my long-running, award-winning blog – which
for over a decade has been uniquely uncovering and documenting the most
extraordinary, and truly monstrous, denizens of cryptozoology and unnatural
history ever reported and investigated.
Within this second spellbinding Coachwhip-published
compilation in book form of blog articles selected and updated from ShukerNature, you will encounter such
incredible entities as an eight-legged blue devil in Belize and the big grey
man of Ben MacDhui, thylacines in New Zealand, Chile's lost mini-llamas, and
Canada's elusive duck beavers, medieval bottled manikins, the garden of a
water-horse, and the menagerie of Medusa, resurrected lijagupards and
rediscovered litigons, Lewis Carroll's mock turtle and the cryptids of Doctor
Dolittle, a marvellous mini-beast named after yours truly, Herman Melville's
Polynesian mystery cat and Harry Potter's giant whip scorpion, plus Loys's
South American 'ape', gargantuan grasshoppers, and other fascinating fauna of
the fraudulent kind, chupacabra chimpanzees, griffinosaurs, celestial stags,
Australian monkeys, Europe's last wildmen, what may (or may not?) be the
real-life biblical Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, a decapitated unicorn
from South Africa, and so much more besides.

Its gates are open wide, waiting only for
you to step inside its sequestered, shadowy domain and see with your own
disbelieving eyes the monsters and miracles lurking there! From living gorgons
to hidden homunculi, it's high time for a return visit in tangible, page-turning
state to ShukerNature!
Copies can be ordered directly from Amazon US

from Amazon UK here (please ignore the latter UK site's glitch-generated overlong delivery estimate),
