They have been sighted by a lucky-or unlucky-few, some have even been photographed, but their existence remains unproven and unrecognized by the scientific community.These creatures, long thought gone, have somehow survived; creatures from our nightmares haunting the dark places. They swim in our lakes and bays, they soar the night skies, they hunt in the woods. Some are from our past, some from other worlds, and others have always been with us-watching us, fearing us, hunting us.These are the cryptids, and Systema Paradoxa tells their tales.***In an ongoing effort to thwart the villainous Order of the Sanguine Hand, Agents Lydia Wainwright and Keilah Holliday of Her Majesty's Bureau of Preternatural Affairs journey to the remote Congo to investigate a potential threat of unknown origin, identified only as Crimson Whisper.

Will they be in time to foil the Order's nefarious plans? Or even escape the jungle alive? Brace yourself for another harrowing Wainwright and Holliday Adventure.

With tales by James Chambers, Jeff Young, David Lee Summers, Christine Norris, Gordon Linzner, Bernie Mojzes, Cynthia Radthorne, Patrick Thomas, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, and Michelle D. Sonnier.
