About this audiobook
Embark on a series of whimsical and satirical expeditions into the world of cryptozoology with a narrator who is more interested in romance than science. The protagonist travels the globe to collect extinct or mythological creatures, from the Great Auk to invisible entities, finding absurdity at every turn. These stories blend early science fiction with a comedy of manners, poking fun at the scientific establishment and the genre of adventure fiction itself. It is a lighthearted and imaginative collection that showcases a lighter side of weird fiction.
