Riassunto

Cryptids have long haunted our imaginations and folklore. Yetis, werewolves, the fae, the mothman, selkies and more all feature in the stories we tell ourselves to inspire wonder and mystery. By living on the borders of society, at the edges of the map marked "here be dragons", cryptids exist in the liminal spaces between fact and fiction. We Cryptids invites you to consider what would happen if cryptids existed and lived among us. Would they be our neighbors, or would their children be barred from our schools? Would they be viewed as burdens to society, or benefits? Could they "pass" as human, but still be liable to being fired if anyone found out? How would they survive and thrive in a world that doesn't believe in them and fears those who are different?These twelve stories, although metaphors for serious and often deadly societal problems, are intended to inspire you to look at the world differently and perhaps understand others a little better. Even though the theme may be serious, these aren't stories of despair. The characters live on the margins of society, but their experiences are not hopeless. Even as cryptids, they have strength, perseverance, and hope.
