Loren Coleman is the Founder and Director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
"Goudsward's book is highly recommended-a book that confirms rather
than refutes the existence of the sea serpent, precisely because so
many known sightings find a sober explanation, which makes the rest
of the unexplained cases stand out all the more clearly." - Ulrich
Magin, Network for Cryptozoology
"This is truly an extraordinary book! Not just because it focuses
on sightings of sea monsters in the sunny Caribbean realm...and not
because it contains an exhaustive bibliography... It's because it
describes, strictly in words, in clear detail, the features of
strange animals." - Paul LeBlond, University of British Columbia,
and Honorary President, International Cryptozoology Society
"The writer, researcher, and investigator who is Dave Goudsward...
is one of the best researchers I know... All told, Goudsward's
extended examination of all the cryptids of Florida and the
surrounding area is enlightening. Enjoy the quest!" - Loren
Coleman, Director of the International Cryptozoology Museum,
Portland, Maine "This is an important book, which puts what seems
at first glance a rather specialised sub- set of cryptozoology in a
wider anomalistic, human and social context. An excellent read, and
I cannot recommend it too highly."- John Rimmer, Magonia
"What makes this book stand apart from the competition is the
author's deep research, critical intelligence and knowledge of
recognised, if sometimes obscure, animal life. Besides contributing
something to cryptozoology's continuing conversation, Goudsward
gives readers an education in relevant areas of mainstream zoology,
not to mention illuminating aspects of Florida history and
folklore." - Jerome Clark, Fortean Times
