WEIRD WATERS: The Lake and Sea Monsters of Scandinavia and the Baltic States

WEIRD WATERS: The Lake and Sea Monsters of Scandinavia and the Baltic States

by Lars Thomas


The curse of Fortean research is the language barrier. Many classic books published outside the English speaking world have never been translated. Volumes of information are lost in this way. Now CFZ Press are taking the first steps towards rectifying that with the publication of part one of a two volume work on the monsters and mystery animals of Scandinavia. Weird Waters looks at marine and freshwater cryptids from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and the Baltic States. Very little on this subject has been translated into English before, and virtually nothing of the cryptozoology of the Baltic countries is known about in the English speaking world.

Renowned cryptozoologist, author and researcher Lars Thomas of the University of Copenhagen has opened a Pandora’s Box of information hitherto held fast by the locks of culture and language. Herein lay weird and wonderful stories, accounts, legends and data made available for the first time to English readers.

CFZ Press hopes that Weird Waters will be the first of many such books.
