    Sometimes it is believed that severe frost and desperation summoned an evil spirit that gave the possessed person a ravenous hunger for human flesh. But that's just a Native American legend from several hundred, or perhaps even several thousand, years ago. It can't be real, can it? After all, it's only a legend.

    Ziggy Hamantaschen Widdershins XX is a long Furby with a passionate-perhaps slightly unhealthy-obsession with all things Walgreens. No one can explain why he loves it so much, though experts worldwide have tried and failed to uncover the reason. Sure, he can pick up his mother's dementia medication, nibble absent‑mindedly on Ghirardelli, or play sudoku with Velgar the shadow demon in the snack aisle-yet there remains no single, concrete explanation. Join me-the chronicler of Ziggy's strange existence and author of this biography-on a wonderfully weird journey through the life of Siegfried Hamantaschen Widdershins XX, Walgreens' most devoted disciple.

    Everything has an origin story. A spooky town settled in a dried up lake bed, off the beaten path, idyllic and just this side of wrong; a town built on urban legends and folklore, on nightmares and unease, on one man's mistakes that trickle through the ages. A small town too caught up in each other's business to notice what's rising under their feet. Elijah's just lucky enough to be at the epicenter.

    Cryptozoology is the study of animals that are undiscovered by science such as Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, and the Yeti. This is an encyclopedia of the creatures of cryptozoology also known as cryptids. This is by no means a complete list of all cryptids but it is a collection of information on many better known ones I did not write the entries myself, the credit goes to the original authors. I have though made sure it is completely accurate according to my many resources.
