Book Description
Jim, a young janitor working at an insane asylum in Idaho, is about to commit suicide when he's rudely interrupted by a strange resident who recruits him to play a game called Cryptofauna. The next thing Jim knows, he's being whisked off to an absurd competition of worldwide mischief and meddling, where he meets a handful of lifelong friends, and an absolute boatload of deadly enemies.The bizarre game of Cryptofauna might actually help the blue custodian discover a reason to live, assuming, of course, he survives long enough to figure it out..."If Alice and Wonderland and The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy had a love child, it'd be Cryptofauna. This fantasy novel creates an acid dream of lovable characters, tense twists, and a storyworld unlike any I've experienced. [...] it's a beautiful story, funny at times, ridiculous in the best possible way, intense and action packed." - Nico Bell Writes"...a very readable fast-paced adventure packed with fantastic and ridiculous invention." - Ingenious Cat"...one of the strangest, most intriguing things I've ever read." - Songs Wrote my Story"Cryptofauna is fantastically strange, it's so funny and I found myself laughing out loud multiple times. But it's also deep and poignant and [the] attention to detail is superb." - Rae's Reading Lounge
