Cryptids State-by-State
As you may have noticed from my reading list and my novel, I'm quite the fan of monsters.
Recently, I've been especially intrigued by cryptid monsters such as Mothman, The Van Meter Visitor, Sasquatch, etc and have created been writing a blog all about these modern monsters called Cryptids State-by-Ste:

The premise beyond the blog is to give every state it's own "official unoffical" state cryptid, much like how many states have an official flower, mineral, tree, mammal, fossil, etc.
For some of the entries I've had to stretch the definition of a "cryptid" a bit. The monster of Colorado, for example, is the Solid Muldoon l, a "petrified man" much like the Cardiff Giant.
With each entry I discuss the history of sightings, along with possible explanations of what the creature actually is, along with the occasional bit of speculative biology just for fun.
