Canadian Cryptids, Myths & Monsters is collection of all the scariest stories from Canadian folklore explained in the context of mythology. It introduces learners to the complexity of human thought and emotions, and introduces mythology as a language that developed in humanity to help explain the unknowable. The book is not a pseudo-scientific explanation of the existence of monsters, but rather explores these monster myths as a psychological reality people had to come to terms with. The book is a compilation of eerie but fun stories featuring Canadian cryptids and monsters. Each story is followed by a short exploration of why or how the particular myth emerged, followed by a few reflexive questions that can be discussed.
