Through adorable and charming panels, Sarah suggests the monsters of urban legend might not be so different from us.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC!

I LOVED this collection of comics all about cryptid creatures. It had me laughing and wanting to send screenshots to my friends.

Thank you #NetGalley and #AndrewsMcMeelPublishing for sending me #CrytpidClub by #SarahAndersen for review.
This is probably one of the most adorable graphic novels I have ever read. It is hard to be a cryptid and Sarah Andersen shows us the hard life they live - in a cute way! The artwork is fantastic and the puns are a riot.
This is definitely a book that everyone needs to add to their library. Especially for all the cryptid fans!

I've been a fan of Sarah Andersen for some time now, and these comics are laugh-out-loud hilarious. The book is a collection of comics that involve cryptids in relatable situations. Being from West Virginia, my favorites usually included both the Mothman and the Flatwoods Monster. Though I love her normal style of comics, it's great to see her branching out. Highly recommend for a Halloween read.

Sarah Andersen did it once again!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.8
Cryptic Club is a really funny collection of comics about cryptic creatures where Sarah brings up social anxiety and enlightens us all with how cryptically are seen and what is believed about them.
From very well known cryptically like the Loch Ness monster and extraterrestrials to less known ones such as the Chupacabra and the Spender Man. It is really cool seeing the crypt club, where these creatures are trying to ‘live their own lives” while being interrupted by humans.

As an avid lover and prostheletizer of Cryptids, this book was the best! I follow this creator on all my social media and I love her! This book is so funny and cute, and I already had it pre-ordered so I was so excited to be approved for a copy. A must read for any lover of cryptozoology and the lifestyles of cryptids.
Mothman is hotter than the Jersey Devil.

Ok. Seriously adorable. Monsters were never so inviting and how Sarah Andersen presents them. Mothman may just be my favorite being, and I really don't like moths.... The graphics were fun, colorful, and did well taking known, usually terrifying creatures, and adapting them to her style while staying true to their characters yet adorable. I really enjoy this author's other graphic novels, and this one definitely carries the trademark easy and relatable humor.

Today I learned exactly what Bigfoot, Chupacabra, Ghosts, Cthulhu, Extraterrestrials, Flatwoods Monster, Fresno Nightcrawlers, Jackalope, Kraken, Loch Ness Monster, Mothman, Siren, Siren Head, Sleep Paralysis Demon and Slender Man all have in common, They are in the Cryptid Club by Sarah Anderson. This cute collection made me Laugh Out Loud. I especially loved the Cryptid Valentines. I was Rolling On The Floor Laughing when Bigfoot tries to get a good photo. This book was short, sweet and uplifting. The glossary at the end was helpful as I wasn’t aware of the Flatwoods Monster or the Fresno Nightcrawlers. Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC.

AH I had no idea what to expect but this turns out to be a collection of comics that I've seen passed around on the internet!! They actually made me genuinely laugh a few times, so I'd say this is pretty spooky AND successfully funny.

Peculiar creatures and good humour —*chefs kiss— perfect combination.
This collection is everything great about @club.cryptid on Instagram, and more!
It's an absolute joy to turn the pages of this graphic novel and read about these strange and legendary monsters interacting with each other. Some have frightened, mystified and fascinated mankind for centuries, others have only recently become known, but all have their believers.

I’m not entirely sure what I was expecting but it was not “this”. Omg I am not complaining though. I was having such a bad night and day and I opened this and there are just so many little things that still have me laughing. I appreciate the glossary at the end with a brief explanation of each cryptid as there were a couple I honestly was not familiar with. This book is hilarious and I cannot wait to own it ! This will make an excellent gift as well for anyone into paranormal , abnormal , strange etc. this book had me laughing so hard I was in tears lol and for the most part it’s very “clean” Loved it , loved it , ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT !!!!

Thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review!
I've been a fan of Sarah Andersen's comics for a long time, and I found the Cryptid Club on Instagram. The series follows a group of popular cryptid friends as they try to overcome their insecurities, socialize with humans, evade humans, date, and parent. Just like us! This book is a compilation of those comic strips, plus some additional, exclusive strips and illustrations.
Fans of the supernatural in particular will love this charming, laugh-out-loud book. It was a very quick read - I finished it in a sitting and wished it was longer! It's reasonably easy to understand, but you do need to have a basic knowledge of cryptid culture to get the references. Most of the book is PG, but there's a strip that mentions anal. The illustrations are done in Andersen's style and fully coloured.
I would have loved it if the strips had been grouped thematically, or if there had been a longer story included, but this would still make a lovely present for any humour fans!

I love Sarah Anderson. I love cryptids. This book was made for me. Her adorable art style is perfect for quick little pokes at the amusement value of possibly terrifying creatures that may or may not actually exist. There are some real 'characters' in this collection, each cryptid tends to have a name (or is referred to by species) and you can really see the personality behind each individual. It's not like all Bigfoot are the same, and Sam had some anxieties he'd like to share with you!

This was very cute! The art is adorable and the situations the characters are in are quite funny. There's not much to say besides the fact that it was a quick and simple read and I won't be revisiting it. I think kids would like this a lot.

I initially wanted to read this book because I really like Sarah Andersen’s Fangs.
While I didn’t dislike anything about Cryptid Club (the comics are cute), I also didn’t find it good enough to honestly say that I’d spend money on the book.

Cryptid Club is a laugh-out-loud funny book of mini-comics featuring various cryptids like ghosts, nightcrawlers, Mothman, and Bigfoot. So many of these had me snort laughing and tempted to screenshot the page to send as a meme to my friends. Until I realized I’d be doing it with basically the entire book, so instead I’ll likely be gifting it to a few people once it’s released. The drawings are cute, the jokes are zingy and while some are predictable, they’re still pretty great and surprisingly relatable. Who doesn’t love a good “you mom” joke but from a cryptid, and who hasn’t wanted to look good in an unposed shot only to realize it was blurry and weird (poor Sam aka Bigfoot is going through it on social media). A quick, funny read.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book!
Cryptid Club is a graphic novel by Sarah Andersen, author of the Sarah's Scribbles comics and Fangs. This graphic novel contains the funniest little stories about bigfoot, chupacabra, cthulhu, mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, ghosts, and many other monsters, aliens and creatures. This was so hilarious. I loved the illustrations so much.
Also, super fast read, I read it in just one sitting. Probably my favourite by her so far!!

I'm absolutely obsessed.
Cryptid Club was just what the doctor ordered - silly folklore creatures doing silly things and bringing a smile to my face. I LOVED this. I've been a huge fan of Sarah Andersen for years and love her other graphic novels (Fang is wonderful!) so I was very excited to pick this up.
I can absolutely see myself recommending this to my audience, and I already have a few friends in mind who definitely need to pick up copies. Not to mention, I need a copy for my shelves because it's so cute. I loved this collection of comics and hope there's a sequel or more in the future for the cryptid club!
Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with a copy for an honest review!

More like a compilation for the Halloween lovers, it's perfect for someone who's all Halloween inside.
I say, if you don't know the references the comic is making, I'm 90 percent sure you won't laugh your a off while reading this one.
Thank you, Andrews McMeel, for the advance reading copy.
Sarah is my queen. Whatever she comes out with, I am here for it.
This compilation is pure entertainment and I laughed the entire time (after forgetting what's laughing for jokes for an entire month or so 🤦). Thank you, Sarah, for always rescuing me with your work. It means a lot. Your sense of humour works like charm.
Love the cute, dark artwork. Already waiting for the next book!

Thank you for the EArc. I adore Sarah Anderson books and this one us no exception. Super cute book about everyone’s favorite cryptids. I laughed out loud more than once and the illustrations are me smile. Another great book by a great author. My only suggestion might be to out the cryptid descriptions at the beginning just in case some non cryptid loving person picks up this book, it would help put a little context to the pages.
