Creatures of the Cosmos

Creatures of the Cosmos by De Camp, Catherine Crook, editor.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780664326210.

Here are eight tales about beasts that never were, on land, on sea, or in the air. One of these creatures of the cosmos was brought to Earth from Venus. Two others came from planets that circle distant stars. One Earth animal thinks like a human being because a scientist operated on his brain. Another not only thinks, but also talks, because he is a mutant, a living thing whose heredity was made over by atomic radiation. Two creatures have ESP (extrasensory perception), the ability to read another person’s mind and send thought messages. One creature is a cynoid, a remarkable creation. Another is a unique and terrifying ancient sea monster. Have fun reading about them!
