The legendary monsters that roam the Land of Enchantment.
New Mexico is full of the strange and unusual, from mysterious cryptids to visitors from outer space. Hairy shapeshifters dart across the back roads of Grants and Gallup, while Sasquatch roam the Sandias and Sitting Bull Falls. Visitors from outer space drop in to terrorize Roswell in the form of escaped extraterrestrials, Spring-Heeled Jack floats over Silver City, and a faceless monster stalks the South Valley. Prehistoric survivors like the Thunderbird perch on the mountaintops, giant sloths leave massive footprints in the White Sands, and spectral dinosaurs glide across the scrublands of Ghost Ranch. Not even the waters are safe, as giant catfish roam the bottom of Elephant Butte Lake and Lizard Men swim through the acequias of the San Luis Valley.
Author John LeMay separates fact from folklore, and artist Chris Casey captures the likenesses of New Mexico's legendary monsters.
