The InCryptid series is one of Seanan McGuire’s most entertaining creations. The Price family works as cryptozoologists — scientists who study and protect supernatural creatures like Aeslin mice, dragons, and gorgons. They split from the Covenant of St. George generations ago and have been hiding from the organization while protecting the cryptid community ever since. Each book rotates between family members as narrators, giving the series a constantly refreshed perspective.

Starting with Discount Armageddon (2012), the series balances action, humor, and world-building across 28 novels and short stories. The vast supporting cast of cryptid species, each with their own culture and biology, gives McGuire enormous creative space. The series continues with new entries including Installment Immortality (2025) and Butterfly Effects (2026).
