Thank you to netgalley for providing me with a copy of this.

These illustrations were so cute and really made light of the usually very scary cryptids we hear about. It is a very unique approach to cryptids that I haven't seen before and I appreciated the originality. Some of the jokes made I did not understand and some of the cryptids I did not recognize until I got to the glossary at the end. I think there were some missed opportunities for some more funny jokes to be made to play on the reader's knowledge of cryptids.

Compared to the other Sarah Andersen book I've read, Fangs, this is much closer to the Sarah's Scribbles stuff you'll have seen online (and seriously, you have – unless you only take your Internet bound in leather, you'd know those wild-haired, large-eyed representatives of relatable problems if you saw them, or the entirely correct one about how heaven created dogs while cats were from the imps of the Pit). The downside of which is that the comedy is mostly in the lines and look of it, the perfect minimalism of the Loch Ness Monster's awkward expression, or the way that the Mothman peering into the panel is always, instantly, hilarious. This is, in short, the sort of comic which is vastly easier to sell if you're not weird and old-fashioned like me and you're willing to use images in reviews. So I can tell you about how I felt for poor Bigfoot desperately trying to get a decent photo for once, but it will never convey the charm like seeing it would. Equally, while this is to a large extent always true of comedy, either it tickles you or it doesn't, and even for me not all of it did; I didn't at all get the Fresno nightcrawler stuff, though to be honest that was partly because I had never been aware of the original photo of the purported creature in question, and now I've seen it, yeah, fair enough.

There will never be something Sarah Andersen writes that I don’t love.

Her humour and art style are impeccable, I just found myself in a heap of laughs after some of the jokes in this one.

Cryptid Club was the first one outside of her Sarah Scribbles books I had read, and I wondered if I would enjoy it as much as that hilarious and relatable collection of slice of life comics. I loved it!

The characters were so great, and the jokes were hilarious. Highly recommend, I now want a tattoo of ghosts wearing high waisted jeans. Hilarious.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Sarah Andersen for blessing me with this ARC that managed to make me laugh during these bizarre times we live in. It’s nice to find joyful funny things in dark times.

I continue to love everything Sarah Andersen does, but I think this might be my favorite of her works. It's cute and funny and features cryptids! What more could you want?

Cryptid Club is another adorable and hilarious book by Sarah Andersen. I’m definitely a fan of Andersen’s books. I love her artwork and her stories are always amusing. Cryptid Club features a variety of creatures just going about their lives, trying to get by while being misunderstood by humans.

This book explores some of the same themes as Andersen’s previous books- social anxiety, feeling like an outcast, and navigating relationships- except the main characters are night creatures. This was a fast and enjoyable read. Definitely the perfect book to read during the fall season! I always look forward to reading another book by Sarah Andersen.

Cryptid Club is a great example of Sarah Anderson's style of comic writing, so if you like any of their other books, you'll probably enjoy this one. Cryptid Club explores awkward relationships and social anxiety through the lens of different famous cryptid (for which Sarah provides a helpful glossary for anyone unfamiliar with the stories behind them). The art is lovely, with dark and standout full colors.

Another fun collection from Sarah. Can't wait to get this in the hands of everyone who enjoys funny and spooky art. The cryptid representation is hilarious.

I’ve already been a fan of the Cryptid Club comics ever since Sarah Anderson first started creating them and sharing them on the web, so it was a real joy to be able to binge familiar gags and a few comics that I’d missed all at once. I’m pretty positive other fans who have been keeping up will enjoy this cute collection as well. Likewise, I’m also very, very positive that those who have been fans of “Sarah’s Scribbles” but have somehow managed to miss out completely on her newer comic series will discover a whole lot to love.

Cartoonist and illustrator Sarah Anderson branches out from the semi-biographical Sarah's Scribbles to explore the mystery and lore of cryptids (animals that cryptozoologists believe may exist somewhere in the wild, but are not believed to exist by mainstream science). At slightly more than 100 pages, as in her other work, Sarah offers humorous comic strips about the challenges of daily life.... for cryptids.

Do you want to see Big Foot desperate to be in a good photo? Learn about Fresno Nightcrawler's love of pants? Why Extra Terrestrials love cows? All these and more are detailed. In total 15 creatures appear, sometimes together or on their own. The strips are all colored, and build on one another with callbacks to earlier strips or jokes and content linked to, or poking fun at, the lore of the creatures featured. In addition to the comics, the book ends with brief overviews of each creature, which might be the best place to start reading.

A fun way to spend part of a day, if you're not sure of the content view some of the strips on Instagram (@club.crpytid).

This is a really cute collection of cartoon strips about various mythical creatures. It's a short but very enjoyable read. I would enjoy seeing more of these adorable characters

I love the combination of cute imagery, humor, and Crypitids. This was a very quick read, made up of short, 2-4 panel, comics (most of which are probably published online) that covers romance, self-love, friendships, parenting, and the general lives of Cryptids. I loved this collection and highly recommend it to anyone in need of a laugh!

This is a super cute, funny illustrated book.
I'd never heard of the term Cryptids before so didn't really know what I was jumping into, but once I knew it was going to be spooky Halloween based, I had to read this.
The illustrations are so cute, simple, colourful and the right amount of Spoopy.

Cryptids are "an animal whose existence or survival is disputed or unsubstantiated, such as the yeti."

I've always found the lore and mystery of things like this so interesting and these comics were a hilariously cute take on cryptids and their different day to day situations.

But have no fear, if you haven't heard of some like I wasn't sure on some of the, there is a helpful guide in the back of the book.

This was a fun and easy read. I loved the illustrations. If you like Sarah Andersen's humor you'll enjoy this comic collection too.

So cute and easy to read! A bunch of comics about various cryptids. The drawings are so cute and I love the idea of them all being friends! My favorite was Bigfoot was social anxiety. So, so cute!

This is an adorable collection of comics about Cryptids. The art is fun and the cryptid styles are great.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I will read anything Sarah Andersen might write and I'm sure that I will like it such as this book which gave me so much fun while reading it. I laughed and it made me feel good and I might re-read it a second time just because it was so much enjoyable to read.
Please, keep creating this kind of books because they just made my day/night. Thanks.

Everyone has social anxiety. Even your sleep paralysis demon! A series of little 4-panel comics about the trials of being a cryptic. Bigfoot can never take a good picture. Mothman only appears before disasters...so stop cutting your bangs! No one remembers Cthulhu's name. The Fresno Nightcrawlers...actually, they're doing great. Check out those sweet calves!

Not a single miss in this book. Nothing feels to obvious in setup, and then you get the punchline, and it's yet another delight. I'm especially a fan of the obscure reference to "Champ," New York's own version of Nessie. Andersen also includes obscure, newly, created cryptid "Siren Head," which had given me a new hyperfixation.

Yet another wonder from Sarah Andersen. A quick read, but a great way to lift your spirits. Including the paranormal kind.

“Cryptid Club” was the exact cup of warm spooky tea I needed from Sarah Anderson. A collection of comics following a cast of cryptids ranging from the modern to the mythical, this was a delight to read from beginning to end.

It goes without saying that humor is subjective and if Anderson’s humor doesn’t do it, then the book is worth the skip. But I delighted in every clever twist and obvious in retrospect pun with every page. A Bigfoot suffering social anxiety and a Loch Ness Monster always saying the wrong thing (like a Cryptid Cassandra of Troy) are among what emerges as a perfectly sized cast of friends dealing with the ups and downs of cryptid life. It’s less serious and adult than “Fangs” (which I also adored) but it has the same blend of horror and comedy, just chibified.

“Cryptid Club” was the kind of spooky and fun that a favorite childhood halloween film is. I can’t think of a better thing to read when greeting fall than that.

This was a fun read. Somehow even slenderman was cute in this book. Nessie was my favorite. I hadn't heard of some of the cryptids, but there is a helpful guide in the back of the book.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you so much for the advanced copy!

Im a big fan of Sarah Andersen's comics. The general art style and humor is always entertaining and cute so I was really excited to see this new set of comics!

Cryptids are a hit topic and I've always found the lore and mystery of them to be so interesting. These comics were a hilariously cute take on cryptids and their different day to day situations. Sarah chose an interesting collection of cryptids for these comics too and it was fun to see some about old school myths like Bigfoot but also some about newer creations like Slender Man or Siren Head. A really fun read!
