Cryptid Carnage The call of the wild is an alluring one to many people. The vast wilderness of the forests, lakes, jungles, and beyond are often places of solitude and retreat. They are places to become one with yourself and nature, a safe haven to rest, explore, and marvel at something beyond your daily life. But can we know what truly lurks in those unexplored reaches of our lands? Can we fathom what living rarities may be hidden in those dark caves, and endless lakes? Can we be certain that the peace we seek can be found as we wander into the unknown reaches of the wild? The stories assembled here offer you some answers to those questions. But peace is not guaranteed. Nor is safety. Within these pages, you will find solitude, but no place to retreat, and no one to hear you scream. Welcome to the carnage. Explore at your own risk. 1.
