WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

2013 YEARBOOK: Call for articles

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is that time of the year again. I am starting to put together the 2013 CFZ Yearbook - the fifteenth in the series. If you have something that you would like to submit, please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk

I am also very much aware that neither Animals & Men or The Amateur Naturalist has appeared in some time. We are still evaluating a new distribution method for Animals & Men but I do assure you that it will reappear in the near future. At the moment we don't know what is going to happen with The Amateur Naturalist but we will let you know once a decision has been reached.

There have been some queries on Facebook about The Journal of Cryptozoology. We are selling it issue by issue at the moment. It will be produced AT LEAST once a year, but it may well come out more often than this. Issue one has been priced at £6.99 because of the size. However, if issue two has considerably more pages, for example, it may be priced differently. With so many variables it is impossible to have a conventional subscription scheme.
