Great camera for a tiny project I'm doing but I would like to get better sound but to my dismay there is no shoe on the camera. How can I hook up a shotgun mic to this? Can I?

I know that the giant squid mic is compatible with the 1/8th 3.5mm jack that is on the h4n... At least that is what the website says. My question is it possible to hook Two giant squid mics to the H4n? Perhaps through 1/8th to XLR adapters? Or is this going to fry the mic or recorder?
