This is a copy of the deluxe hardcover edition of the CRYPTOZOOLOGY ANTHOLOGY sold at a discount directly by editor Robert Deis (that’s me). I will be glad to sign it before shipping if requested by the purchaser. The regular list price is $34.95. The CRYPTOZOOLOGY ANTHOLOGY is the first ever collection of classic stories from vintage men’s adventure magazine about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Abominable Snowman (a.k.a. the Yeti), the Loch Ness Monster, the giant Thunderbird and other legendary creatures from the realm of cryptozoology – the study of animals whose existence is scientifically unproven or in dispute. The book is 322 pages long and is lushly illustrated with full color scans of the original magazine covers, interior illustrations and photographs used for the stories when they were first published in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Introductory text that puts the stories in their historical and cryptozoological context was written by cryptid and cult film expert David Coleman, author of THE BIGFOOT FILMOGRAPHY. Among the featured stories are authorized reprints of rarely-seen stories by Arthur C. Clarke (2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY) and John Keel (THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES).

NEW! The full color, expanded WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH! anthology (Softcover)
This is the new, the full color paperback edition of WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH!, the acclaimed men’s adventure magazine story and art anthology first published in a black-and-white paperback edition in 2013. The book is 6″ x 9″ in size and 450 pages long. It has the same stories and artwork as the hardcover edition at a lower price. WEASELS includes classic men’s adventure magazine stories by writers who later became famous, such as Lawrence Block, Harlan Ellison, Bruce Jay Friedman, Robert Silverberg, Jane Dolinger and Walter Wager, and many others. The stories are illuminated with full color reproductions of the MAM issues they appeared in, the illustration and photos used for them, and examples of wild MAM print ads. There are also in-depth introductions about the authors, artists and magazines, an interview with Mario Puzo, who worked for men’s adventure magazines before THE GODFATHER made him famous, and the reminiscence “Even the Rhinos Were Nymphos” by Bruce Jay Friedman about his years as an editor of MALE and other MAMs before he became a renowned playwright, screenwriter and novelist. From the jungles to the deserts to the mean city streets, the men’s adventure magazines of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s—pulpy periodicals like REAL MEN, MALE, MAN’S LIFE, TRUE MEN STORIES, UNTAMED, EXOTIC ADVENTURES and GUSTO—left no male fantasy or interest unexplored. War stories, exotic adventure yarns, “true, first-hand” accounts of white-knuckle clashes between man and beast, and spicy tales of sadistic frauleins and tropical white queens hungry for companionship…topped off with salacious exposés of then-shocking subjects like free love, the Beat Generation, homosexuality, LSD and the secret horniness hidden in calypso lyrics. And, yes, one of the stories included is the actual story “Weasels Ripped My Flesh!” from the September 1956 issue MAN’S LIFE—the title Frank Zappa made famous by using it for an album title in 1970. This new, full color, expanded edition also includes cover and interior scans, plus added commentary by the co-editor, graphic designer and publisher of the book, Wyatt Doyle. I also sell the full color, deluxe hardcover edition of the new WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH! anthology in a separate eBay listing.
