My newest thematic cryptozoology e-book is lastly
right here, my 33rd e-book in complete, and dedicated to a topic that has by no means
beforehand obtained book-length remedy.
Few creatures divide human opinion so
diametrically relating to their perceived benevolence, or malevolence, as do
snakes – the eternally-cursed serpent form in accordance with Christianity, essentially the most
divine and blessèd of reptiles in accordance with Hinduism, vilified and honored,
sanctified and demonised, passively protected, actively annihilated, usually
ignored, however by no means deemed undeserving of discover if or when encountered.
The above is particularly true, furthermore, when
investigating whether or not our world could include extraordinary snake types nonetheless
undescribed by science and likewise whether or not snakes can exhibit weird behaviour
presently deemed scientifically inconceivable.
Printed by Coachwhip Publications,
this uniquely engrossing e-book gives essentially the most intensive survey of secret
snakes and serpent surprises ever printed, wherein I study such diversified
envenomed and constricting controversies as Africa’s crowing crested cobra,
thriller snakes of the Mediterranean lands, the Mongolian dying worm, North
America’s boss snakes, and Parker’s serpentine slayer from Papua, plus St
John’s viper, the Virgin Mary snakes, and the pre-cursed Eden serpent, Kipling’s
Karait and Sherlock Holmes’s Speckled Band, gargantuan anacondas with horns and

plus a lot extra.
So put together your self to be duly fascinated –
however solely in essentially the most innocent, non-lethal method! – by the ophidian choices
revealed right here. However, it might maybe be greatest to not stare for too lengthy into the eyes of any of the
limbless ones portrayed inside this e-book’s complete assortment of
illustrations, simply in case…
