McGuire has released more than fifty short stories and novellas set in the InCryptid universe. They are available through anthologies, bonus content in the print editions of her books, her website, and to her Patreon subscribers.
Michael Jones of Tor.com praised the series for its characterization, humor, and worldbuilding, which draws from diverse myths from around the world, as well as those of McGuire's own invention. [2] His review of Half-Off Ragnarok called it "slightly over-the-top fun, a genuinely entertaining good time" and "[a] fast-paced, non-taxing sort of brain candy for the urban fantasy fan". [3] Liz Bourke called Chaos Choreography "a magnificent romp through reality television, talent shows, murder, and snake cults" [4]
Publishers Weekly calls Tricks for Free "a joyous romp that juggles action, magic, and romance to great effect" [5] and praised Calculated Risks for "injecting her unique mix of pop culture awareness, sly humor, and creepy weirdness into an urban fantasy framework." [6]
Charlaine Harris says "The cast of characters in the InCryptid books is always delightful, and they’re great fun." [7]
