Mark A. Hall, Cryptozoologist and Cosimo Author 1946 - 2016

We at Cosimo are deeply saddened to hear the news that our author, Mark A. Hall passed away last week on Wednesday, September 28, 2016.

Hall, a cryptozoologist and author, researched and investigated unexplained natural phenomena and mysteries for over half a century. He shared the results of his efforts in books and the periodical WONDERS, published from 1992 to 2006. His many books include Thunderbirds: America's Living Legends of Giant Birds (2004) and True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive? (2010), which were released by Cosimo and are part of Loren Coleman's Presents series.

Mark Hall's research papers and documents have been donated to the International Cryptozoology Museum, founded by his close friend and colleague, Loren Coleman. Please read Coleman's personal thoughts in his obituary of Mark Hall.

The world of cryptozoology has lost a great researcher, and we will miss our author dearly.
