There’s nothing more fascinating than hearing about what spawned an idea for a short story I love, but for me what truly can’t be beat was hearing about which cryptids inspired the stories in Great Old Ones Publishing’s From the Corner of Your Eye: A Cryptids Anthology.

Writer Gregory L. Norris took the trouble to solicit back stories for those of us whose work is featured in the anthology, and several of us answered the call! You can find out what types of cryptids are lurking in the pages of the anthology here. Enjoy!
