Welcome to Cryptid Creek, a secret town full of undiscovered creatures, from yetis to lake monsters. Only very special humans can find their way here, but when they do stumble in, they can t resist the allure of this cozy locale or its fascinating citizens. Join the humans of this inclusive fantasy community as they browse the bookshop with Mothman, hit the skate park with nightcrawlers, wander the botanical garden with the Jersey Devil, and go on other dream dates that offer new spins on classic romance tropes. Stories include: A friends-to-lovers slow burn with the Loveland Frog, a fake dating scheme with a swamp monster, a butch/femme hookup with Sasquatch, a second-chance drama with the Michigan Dogman, and more fun trysts with your favorite creatures! If you loved Legends and Lattes and That Time I Got Drunk and Yeeted a Love Potion at a Werewolf, get ready to dust off your cryptozoology equipment and put on your cutest outfit because monster lovers, misfits, and anyone who relates to cryptids will never want to leave this mountain town.
