The editors of Contemporary Legend are delighted to announce the release of the latest issue of the journal:

https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/cl/issue/view/2459

Series 4, Volume 4 -- that's right this is our fourth year of open access publication! -- is a special issue on "Monsters, Creatures, and Cryptids" and was lovingly edited by our outgoing co-editor, David Puglia.

As the other co-editor, I would like to thank David for all his work. He really led the way in this digital transition.
