Have you ever met a yeti crossed with a yak?
Well, I haven’t either. In fact, I still don’t really know what a yeti is. But no matter.
Today’s post is to celebrate the release of my friend Kiersten White’s awesome debut novel PARANORMALCY by giving away a hardcover of the book! Her book tells the story of a 16-year-old who is tasked with tracking down all the world’s paranormal creatures from vamps to hags to werewolves. So in a celebration of her book, whoever comes up with the most clever mash-up of a supernatural, paranormal, other worldly creature will receive a copy of her book!
Leave your entry in the comments below and I will pick a winner by Friday September 3.
Disclaimer: This contest is open to contestants in the United States only. The book will not be signed by Kiersten. I will simply be making the purchase of the book and sending it to you – the winner!

Yay, Kiersten! I would love to win a copy!
Mash-up= guy who can see through book jacket author photo glamours and always puts EXACTLY the right amount of salt on food.
Oh, wait. The entry? Yes…a snufalufagus crossed with a hummingbird.
Sounds like fun!
How about a vampire/zombie/werewolf/mermaid?
It hates itself in so many ways.
A secret society of vampire bunnies stalk a country town, sucking the life blood from pets and livestock, with a special fetish for ferrets. They turn the ferrets into their zombie slithery slaves, forcing them to steal blankets from houses so the rabbits can pad their lairs in luxury.
Or maybe I didn’t get it. ^^^ Sorry!
Making up a CREATURE, not a story. Okay, what about a Parrodolphelion?
Parrot head, lion body, dolphin dorsal and skin. Can run, fly, and swim….and steal blankets from houses so the evil vamp rabbits can pad their lairs!! LOLOL!
Best I can do!
Ok, the ghost of a unipantheropus.
This majestic beast has the head of a unicorn, the body of a panther and the tentacles of an octopus. Now the unipantheropus is a ghost and thus even more powerful.
How about a zombie-ghost who isn’t quite sure he wants to cross over, so procrastinates until he becomes corporeal…and hungry for brains. Buuuuwah!
Zombie leprechauns.
Seriously, it was terrifying, and I’d rather not talk about it.
OK, how about a chuthulu selkie zombie mashup with a dash of bigfoot? That way you’ve got land and ocean horror covered, with some fur too.
what about a ghost of a vampire…..? We always hear of once a vampire is dead its dead and thats it. What if a ghost comes around that was a vampire and struggles with being able to be in sunlight but not able to feed!
thanks for the contest
A zombie vampire siren haha it sounds scary thanks so much for this cool an fun contest I can’t wait to read it sounds really great. Zombie vampire elves singingIs so bad it hypnotized/ makes your senses weak you and it eats you and go after your blood nothing left lives in woods
I may be stealing from Carrie Harris but it’s for a good cause. A merpire! A sparky merpire with ochre eyes and ochre fins that makes kiddie pools appear in teenage girls bedrooms. Who also goes swish swish when they walk. Go to Carrie Harris’ blog if you don’t get it. But if you’re not impressed there is… Krakulu! A Kraken and Cthulu mixed together. A merpire is a mermaid and vampire if mash-upped.
A mash-up creature? I vote for a werebat siren. Not only can she turn into a bat, her sonar captivates men and directs them were she wants them to go just as it directs her.
Me! I’ve always loved the creatures of Scotish legend, so I’d love to see a Griffin (already kind of a mashed up creature) mixed with a human boy. I think the idea that he could be human but also part eagle and part lion would make him killer cool.
Wait. Forget it. Just cancel, cancel. I’m gonna write a story with this guy, so forget I said anything.
I wanna win!
Happy Release Day to Kiersten. I have heard great buzz about this book. I would love to read it. I love the cover. How about a shapeshifter ghost chupacabra.
Combine the Bull of Heaven from the Epic of Gilgamesh with the Greek nymph Callisto, who Zeus turned into a bull.
The resulting monster mash-up of bull and bear would be named Dow Jones.
Werethulhuguin = Were (shapeshifting) + Cthulhu (tentacles) + penguin
OMG I need to read this book!
My Mash Up is called the GaGaVamaid.
It would have the face of Lady GaGa (because, let’s face it, she’s not all human), and the teeth and strength of a vampire, with the tale and swimming ability of a mermaid. Oh, and she has Harry Potter’s wand. So now she can defeat Voldamaid who wasn’t killed but reincarnated as half wizard half merman… (he’s also married to Ursula from the Little Mermaid)
Yeah I had fun with this…
A Teadvarkitaur. Teddy bear+Zombie+Aardvark +Vampire+Shark+Minotaur+Dinosaur.
It’s an ancient creature that was thought to come from the Greek mythology. Once trapped in limbo, it has now come back to the land of the living due to the current abject fascination humanity has with the creatures that embody it. Combine this fascination with the scrutiny of the media, and the thought processes of humans are magnified, thus awakening this creature to haunt our nightmares, where hopefully it’ll just stay there.
i’ll go with a wonderful first time novelist who writes a great book, gets published and is optioned for film rights.
… and then eats the planet.
A were-wolverine with seven toes and glass eyes, who just happens to be this year’s reincarnation of Monkey.
