AINTERVIEWS: A Chat with 'Connecticut Cryptids' Author Patrick Scalisi and Illustrator Valerie Ruby-Omen

In lieu of taking a total holiday break, we've instead brought you a post-Christmas treat: an interview with local author Patrick Scalisi and illustrator Valerie Ruby-Omen regarding their recent book release Connecticut Cryptids: A Field Guide to the Weird and Wonderful Creatures of the Nutmeg State! Pat and Val discuss what inspired them to compile the stories of Connecticut Cryptids into this extraordinary field guide, which includes tales like that of the Grench, the Black Dog of Hanging Hills, several water monsters, and of course - Bigfoot in CT!
