Cabinet of Curiosities #6 is experiencing technical delays but will be posted at Bioephemera later this week. For those who can't wait to get their monthly dose of the unusual, the exotic, the incredible stuff we have hoarded away in our attics or on our hard drives, you could do far worse than to pay a visit Cryptozoology.com for the latest Bigfoot news, and see how your 10 ten list of favorite monsters compares with the one posted at LiveScience. Personally, I've always been partial to Dryads, Naiads and Oreads, such as the lovely Echo, above, being ignored by Narcissus. Very Pre-Raphaelite of me, I know.
