The Best Cryptozoology Books of 2014

The Best Cryptozoology Books of 2014
by Loren Coleman, Author of Cryptozoology A to Z, Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America,
The Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates, The Field Guide to Lake Monsters and Sea Serpents, and others

The 2014 books produced on cryptozoology topics were overwhelmed with a long list of Bigfoot titles, apparently trying to continue the recent trend to take advantage of the popularity of the Animal Planet television success of Finding Bigfoot. Out of all this fog, the year’s best book does happen to be a Bigfoot book, and this year, besides the top ten, I include a list of ten “honorable mentions” heavily weighed with Bigfoot books.

As with my past “top book lists” on cryptozoology, all of the books listed are strictly nonfiction adult books. It does not contain juvenile, comedic, fictional, and/or speculative titles.

The Best Cryptozoology and Bigfoot Book of 2014
The top honor goes to the first definitive analysis in the 47 year history of the Roger Patterson-Bob Gimlin Bigfoot footage. It is the book to read on Sasquatch/Bigfoot for 2014.
