I cannot say how much I loved this book. I got it paperback because I really enjoyed it and it deserved its own spot on my shelves. It's fun and sarcastic. Every scene takes a page and it's obviously very short but it doesn't make them less funny.

I loved this. It was so cute and spooky. The book is adorable and the puns are cute too. I would buy this in print.

Before requesting this, I did not think I was aware of Sarah Andersen and her comics. However, I did a little Instagram search and realized I have in fact seen her comics all over social media! She has a very distinct character art style, which carried over into her collection Cryptid Club.

One thing that could have made this collection better is a consistent storyline. The comics jump around so much that it was hard to get a flow going while reading. Even so, some of these little comics genuinely made me laugh out loud. Other ones I still thought were funny. A few were just okay or I didn’t understand (probably a me issue, honestly). It definitely is a niche comic book but I think that fans of Sarah Andersen would enjoy this!

Embark on a whimsical journey into the quirky realm of the mysterious and monstrous with Sarah Andersen's "Cryptid Club." This graphic novel is a delightful escapade into the secret social lives of creatures like Mothman and the Loch Ness Monster, and it's as entertaining as it is thought-provoking.

The synopsis promises a peek into the lives of elusive beings, and Andersen delivers with her signature wit and charm. The illustrations are a visual feast, capturing the essence of each cryptid's personality and quirks. Andersen's artistic style shines, making every page a treat for the eyes. The humor is a standout feature, providing chuckles and guffaws as the cryptids navigate their own unique challenges, including dodging cameras and mastering the art of social evasion.

The overarching theme of celebrating differences is woven into the narrative, reminding readers that it's our idiosyncrasies that make us truly beautiful. Andersen's exploration of cryptids as misunderstood beings mirrors the human experience, and it serves as a gentle reminder that uniqueness should be cherished.

However, let's address the minor flaws. While the humor is generally on point, there were moments where it felt slightly forced, and a few jokes seemed to miss the mark. Additionally, the pacing could be a bit uneven at times, with some segments feeling rushed while others lingered longer than necessary.

What elevates "Cryptid Club" is its subtle exploration of the darker side of human nature. The book prompts readers to question whether, indeed, humans are the worst kind of "monsters." It adds a layer of depth that makes the reader pause and reflect amidst the laughter.

In conclusion, "Cryptid Club" is a delightful romp through the world of mythical creatures, offering laughs, heart, and a dash of introspection. Sarah Andersen has crafted an imaginative and visually appealing graphic novel that is sure to resonate with fans of humor and the supernatural. While it may have some minor hiccups, the overall experience is well worth the read. Join the club, and let the cryptid chaos commence! 🌲👻📖

This book was so good, I loved everything about it, the illustrations were so well done, they suited the book perfectly, the story was amazing as well.

This is the perfect fall read! It's actually the perfect read. Never mind the season! You get to hang out with everyone from Mothman to the Loch Ness Monster. Great art, great story!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me access to the free advanced digital copy of this book.

Those short comics were hilarious. Who said monsters didn't have issues of their own ? Sarah Andersen managed to make them relatable and almost human. A cute book for the monster loving reader.

‘Cryptid Club’ by Sarah Andersen is a collection of comics featuring monsters we aren’t sure exist.

Featuring creatures like Slenderman, Kraken, Bigfoot and others, we see the kind of social issues that we face. From awkward dating to not wanting to be around people, to taking terrible photos, this is a fun way to laugh at ourselves and find some new creatures to relate to.

I’ve liked the Sarah’s Scribbles comics by this author, and this was a fun and funny collection featuring some great characters.

4.5 stars!

This was such a cute book! I loved it. So many panels that I snickered at. I definitely recommend this book.

Sarah Andersen never disappoints. Like all of her books this book was also quirky, witty, and hilarious. I loved how she included folklore creatures and urban legends in this book. Absolutely loved reading this book. I'd highly recommend it!

Very fun and cute! The perfect title for the rising trend of "spooky" themes and cryptid enthusiasm, Sarah Andersen is great at setting up excellent jokes quickly and easily, it'll make you chuckle.

Sarah Andersen has such a sly sense of humor, and in this amusing book, she gives monsters whimsical personalities. Who knew the vampires, Big Foot, the Moth Man, aliens and the Loch Ness Monster were filled with so much spooky cuteness? A fun and not-scary read meant to make you laugh outloud.

I find the idea of most cryptids pretty funny so this was right up my alley. It's pretty fun. Not hilarious but amusing for sure. And I like that Anderson has given each cryptid type a distinct personality.

I have never loved Cryptids so much before. SLENDERMAN CUTE? MOTHMAN ADORABLE? Who would've thunk. Sarah Andersen put together an adorable compilation of comic strips involving some of our favourite cryptids and you quite literally have no reason to not enjoy them.

Just all around lovely. A delightful book for cryptid lovers, that brings pure joy and fun. This is one that I will re-reading continuously.

Sarah is just SO CLEVER. Her knowledge of cryptids is vast, and her grasp of hilarious set-ups and punchlines in unmatched. Also the cover GLOWS IN THE DARK?? A perfect book.

Honestly? 5/5 stars. Every page made me snicker and want to send it to friends. So many solid jokes about cryptids. Absolutely my jam.

This was such a fun book. The illustration were fantastic and I laughed out loud quite a few times. I have to get a physical copy of this for my shelf.
Thank you to #NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I rate this book 5 Bigfoots!

Sarah Andersen is a comic treasure.

This is adorable and fun, a quick read that you can knock out of the park in an hour.
