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...

COMING SOON FROM CFZ PRESS

I have known Richard Muirhead longer than I have known anybody else in the world to whom I am not related by blood. My mother and his were friends in Hong Kong in the late 1960s, and when I first met him I was eleven and he was six. We lost contact for many years, but when we met up again in the early 1990s we found – synchronitically – that in the meantime we had both become fascinated by cryptozoology and allied Fortean disciplines. And we have kept in contact ever since!
Some years ago, he started a small press magazine of his own, called Flying Snake, which is a wondrous grab bag of quasi-Fortean odds and ends; the sort of magazine you can open at random, and always find something new, or at least a tasty intellectual titbit with which to whet one’s imagination.
I have been meaning to do this for a long time, but as regular CFZ watchers will know, life has not been particularly easy over the past few years. However, we are very proud to announce the first volume in a series of collected editions of Flying Snake, herewith for your edification, education, and entertainment.

Enjoy.
