Exploring the Everglades ... In Search of the Unknown... ...under all the fresh splendor of color death lurks in brilliant tints. Where painted fruit hangs temptingly, where great, silky blossoms exhale alluring scent, where the elaps coils inlaid with scarlet, black, and saffron, where in the shadow of a palmetto frond a succession of velvety black diamonds mark the rattler's swollen length, there death is; and his invisible consort, horror, creeps where the snake whose mouth is lined with white creeps where the tarantula squats, hairy, motionless; where a bit of living enamel fringed with orange undulates along a mossy log. " This is the place, said Professor Farrago. I have a curious presentiment, he said, that I shall not come out of this experiment unscathed. " Journey with members of the Bronx Park Zoological Gardens as they search out exotic and seemingly extinct creatures like the dingue, the auk and the ux, wooly mammoths and even a prehistoric thermosaurus. Travel with them around the world as they dodge selkies and ekaf-birds in a series of adventures to tracks the weirdest creatures they can find. And then join them again in Police!!! when they encounter amphibious humanoids, giant minnows, fire weasels and more!

About the Author
Robert William Chambers was born on May 26, 1865 in Brooklyn to a very well-to-do family. Educated at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, he left for Paris in 1886 to study art at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the Academie Julian, and wrote a novel called In the Quarter. Returning to New York, he turned his back on his art background and started writing novels and stories, the most remarkable of which is the supernatural classic, The King in Yellow. Chambers followed this with a plethora of historical and society novels and became a very successful author in his time, producing many bestsellers. On July 12, 1898, he married Elsa Vaughn Moller, and they had a son, Robert Edward Stuart Chambers. Following abdominal surgery, Chambers died on December 16, 1933.
