I'd like some recommendations for books about cryptozoology. A broad overview of the subject would be welcome, but I'd prefer books that are more specific to a single kind of creature, like lake monsters, Bigfoot, yetis, the Jersey Devil, Mothman, or any other fantastical creatures. [more inside]

BookRecFilter: One of my favorite authors has just knocked my socks off with his most recent book. I love what he did so much that I'd like to find other historical fiction like this. *Small spoiler for The Terror inside* [more inside]

I need a translation into Latin here. The phrase is: "In books, there is truth, and in truth, there are monsters." I'd like it to be as short and concise as possible, perhaps something like "In books, truth, and in truth, monsters." I'm working on a rather odd story right now, so I may have some more strange questions in the coming weeks. Thanks.
