Publisher's summary

For most, Bayfield is a quaint, unassuming harbor town. For some, the decades-old headlines alleging unexplainable sightings of strange creatures in the water tell a different story. For a select few, the truth behind these legends, speculations, and folklore is more than a mere mystery: There’s magic in the bay. And for local fisherman Mr. Winslow Hoffner, it’s all just a matter of finding yourself in the wrong place at the right time....

Great, fun read!

Michael, the author and narrator, has created a fun and interesting world with memorable characters. His in-depth research shows through with actual cryptids that I'd never heard of, and tying them into a created world of intrigue and amusing personalities. His character voices and accents are very individualistic and well performed, keeping me looking forward to pressing play ASAP.

I've read everything this young author has written, met him at conventions, and encourage others to do the same. This guy is as charismatic as his books, and I look forward to his next book!

Excellent Storytelling

Michael Thompson has created a wonderful, colorful, imaginative world in Winslow Hoffner's Incredible Encounters. Each chapter is an entertaining blend of characters and story centered around a different cryptid each time. Thompson's descriptions are detailed and thematic, and his narration of the tales makes them truly immersive. A well done collection!

light-hearted, humorous and fun to read

This was my first "cryptid" book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This young author, who also recorded this audio version, did a great job of bringing the characters to life with both the spoken and written word. The book is light-hearted and humorous and consists of a series of encounters with diverse marine cryptids. It kept my interest and I finished it in one afternoon while concurrently doing mindless chores.

Fun, humorous adventure

This book was so much fun. The author (who also narrated the book) did a fantastic job of bringing his characters to life. I laughed out loud several times while listening and found the smaller stories wove together nicely into one larger tale.
