My Favorite Cryptozoology Books of 2016 (Updated)

2016 was a good year for cryptozoology books. We got lots of good titles from people such as Bernard Heuvelmans, Nick Redfern, Karl Shuker, Lyle Blackburn, and many others. In this post we will take a look at my favorite books from last year on the subject of cryptozoology and other strange things. (NOTE - Post has been updated March 2017)

This year we got lots of good books on regional cryptozoology, lots of books with new information in them, and, most notably to me, lots of books on the Loch Ness Monsters. The LNM is what first got me interested in cryptozoology when I read this book, but I hadn't gotten a lot of books specifically on that subject in a long time, so it was nice this year getting some new ones.
