Overview
An ordinary man discovers a hidden world of supernatural creatures--and an unexpected home--in this enchanting contemporary fantasy debut.
"Unique, haunting, riveting, and beautifully magical."--Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
"Anderson has conceived of such a rich world, and such a textured mythology. I can't remember a time when cryptids felt more . . . real."--Justin McElroy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Adventure Zone series
Green trips on the curb, falls flat into the street, and sees the city bus speeding toward him. And then . . . blink. He's back on the curb, miraculously still alive. A five-foot-tall crow watches him from atop a nearby sign, somehow unseen by the rushing crowd of morning commuters.
Desperate for answers and beset by more visions of impossible creatures, Green finds his way to a remote campsite in the Appalachian Mountains, where he meets a centuries-old teacher and begins an apprenticeship unlike anything he could imagine.
Under his new mentor's grouchy tutelage, Green studies the time-bending rag moth, the glass fawn, and the menacing horned wolf. He begins to see past hidden nature's terrors and glimpse its beauty, all while befriending fellow misfits--and finding connection and community.
Along the way come clues about the forces that set him on this path--and, most incredibly, a sense of purpose and fulfillment like nothing he's felt before.
But Green's new happiness promises to be short-lived, because alongside these marvels lurks a deadly threat to this place he's already come to love.
Creepy, cozy, and beautiful, Strange Animals is a fantasy about home, belonging, and the fearfully wonderous nature all around us.
