The old chestnut of alligators in the New York City sewers supposedly dates back to the 1930’s, but Myth Crafts argues these tall tales are older than expected. How old? Well the headline spoils things, but definitely not the wild accounts from De Natura Animalium. Playing upon this theme, Natalie Dreier shares an account regarding […]

Jason Offutt reports on what must surely prove that Canadian monsters are as beautiful and savage as the terrain they populate.

Canadians are a hardy species, Manitoban’s doubly so. If you doubt this, go stand on a corner in downtown Winnipeg for 10 minutes in January.
