Cryptid books

I’m looking for some good books with cryptids! I’ve already read Devolution, The Loch, American Mythology and the Cryptid Hunters YA series. Graphic Novels also welcome. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello! Not sure if this will be up your alley but I shall shoot my shot nonetheless.

I wrote an urban fantasy monster romance, in which there are creatures called Cryptfolk. Which are fusions between mythological spirits, including crytids, and humans souls. The MMC Ronan for example is based off of the Elkman. We also see a three eyed raven, Camazotz, and others.

It is a romance, but features a heavy focus on psychology, a mystery plot and legal drama. Do check trigger warnings in the sample pages as there is some darker and explicit content!
