An ancient feud, two legendary cryptids, a woman caught between.

Sarah Shaw finds her world turned upside down when a hike in the Pacific Northwest leads to a terrifying encounter with two legendary cryptids: a towering female Sasquatch, and the malevolent otherworldly beast known as the Dogman.

As Sarah's life becomes dangerously entangled with these frightening creatures, she must confront the many sinister forces threatening to consume her and seek the truth behind her missing memories - all while trying to make peace with the monsters that haunt her.

With heart-pounding suspense and a cast of unforgettable characters - both human and cryptid - The Cryptid Dossier: Confidential Case Files 1-4 is a must-read for fans of paranormal thrillers, horror fantasy, and anyone who wonders about the dark nightmares lurking in the deepest shadows of our world...

In combining the first four novellas of The Cryptid Dossier series into one exciting novel, author Quelle von der Umbra has masterfully woven together the urban mythologies of the Sasquatch people and the emergence of a new and fearsome breed of werewolf-like beings, creating a fresh and suspenseful take on classic cryptid creatures and the feuds that rage between them.

From ‘The Cryptid Dossier: Confidential Case Files 1-4’…

Sarah’s blood turned to ice as the hulking beast rose on its hind legs. Memories flooded back at the sight of the creature’s pointed ears, robust frame, and baleful gaze radiating absolute vindictiveness!
It had returned!
The Dogman cometh…
“The shotgun? Now?” Rogers asked urgently. He raised his weapon to take aim.
“Bullets do nothing to them!” Sarah gasped.
Rogers experienced a stultifying moment of indecisiveness―should he even attempt to blow the thing away, or…
The dogman wavered, snarling as if scanning for its prey. Sarah and Rogers retreated a couple of steps from the window in terror.
Only then did Sarah realize that the Sasquatch had vanished as if it had never been there. She desperately searched the treeline for the orbs, but they, too, were absent.
“She’s gone!” she hissed urgently at Rogers, his face reflecting her horror.
____________

“I need help!” Sarah said finally, avoiding Daemon’s eyes in recognizing the fact.
Daemon looked at her for a while as if trying to decide on something, and then he took out a small notebook from his trouser pocket. He scribbled something on one of its pages, tore it out, and pushed it towards Sarah.
“Sarah, there’s a war going on that nobody around here has a clue about,” he said quietly. “Sightings of creatures like the one you and I have seen are on the up.” He looked around as if to doubly make sure no one was listening. “People who take this stuff seriously say that these dogmen are encroaching on traditional sasquatch territory, and that things are getting ugly.”
“Ugly?” Sarah asked, pensively returning her eyes to Daemon. “How ugly?”
“Let’s just say that many of the more aggressive sasquatch sightings that have been reported lately…” Daemon paused to gather his words. “Let’s just say that people are more likely seeing dogmen instead of good ‘ol Bigfoot when these encounters turn bad.”
Daemon tapped on the piece of paper he had passed across the table. It had an address written on it.
“Come to this place on Saturday, early morning, just after sunrise,” he whispered. “There’s someone I think you should meet… probably the best person to give you the answers you need.”

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bigfoot and Dogman Adventures!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024

    I was already sold by the mention of Bigfoot but then you throw in the mythological Dogman creature too and now I'm invested. Ever since that quick scene in The Shining, I've always wanted to see more with the Dogman. Here it is in a good ole, mystery thriller adventure!

    The setting in the Pacific Coast Mountains is very reminiscent of my mountain area in the California Sierra Nevada's. I live in Bigfoot country so I can relate to strange occurrences traveling out into the wilderness. This book takes those encounters to the next level as our protagonist becomes deeply interested in these phenomena. I do enjoy that the people around her don't find any of this too out of the ordinary and are willing to go along with her journey. It's also nice that this book paints these cryptid creatures as more beings than just plain monsters.

    Overall, enjoyed the writing, the setting, and characters and really look forward to where this series continues on to. Good mystery times!

    The Cryptid Dossier: Confidential Case Files 1-4 by Quelle von der Umbra is the collection of four novellas that include “Rise of the Dogman”, “The Return of Broken Fang”, The Ghost in the Beast”, and “The Dogs of Budapest”. These novellas had me clinging to the pages, excited but also nervous as I anticipated what was on the next page. The stories are captivating, scary, and compelling. The characters are developed well, and the pacing is good. I enjoyed “The Dogs of Budapest” the most. Overall, a very good read.

    Exciting, mysterious and spooky. The main character's name is Sarah, and my name is Sarah!!!! I can personally relate a lot to this character, because I've had this spooky stuff happen to me and we're both interested in veterinary studies which help when tracking a creature 😂 it just reminded me of myself so much,and it made it all the more enjoyable for me. But the story itself is very delightful for anyone looking for a cryptid story. Great, spooky creature story. I very much loved it all
