H. Tukeman

This early work by H. Tukeman was originally published in 1899 and we are now republishing it as part of our Cryptofiction Classics series. 'The Killing of the Mammoth' is a short story that was originally written as a hoax, claiming that the author had actually killed a mammoth and donated it to a museum. The Cryptofiction Classics series contains a collection of wonderful stories from some of the greatest authors in the genre, including Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack London. From its roots in cryptozoology, this genre features bizarre, fantastical, and often terrifying tales of mythical and legendary creatures. Whether it be giant spiders, werewolves, lake monsters, or dinosaurs, the Cryptofiction Classics series offers a fantastic introduction to the world of weird creatures in fiction.
