American Monsters

Bigfoot, the chupacabra, and thunderbirds aren't just figments of our overactive imaginations--according to thousands of startled eyewitnesses, they exist in our own backyards, in every corner of the U.S. Throughout America's history, shocked on-lookers have seen (and, on occassion, interacted with) unbelievable creatures of every stripe, from sea serpents to ape-like beings, giant bats to monkeymen. No region of the country is free of these reports.

Author, investigator, and creature expert Linda S. Godfrey uses historical record and present-day news reports and interviews to examine this wild, hidden menagerie of America's home-grown beasts. Bringing the same skill, attention to detail, and fearless reporting she lent to Real Wolfmen, Godfrey examines the ancient legends and historical newspaper reports on each American cryptid, all leading up to chilling modern-day eyewitness reports.

Organized by region and type of beast, American Monsters is an essential guide for anyone who's ever thought they glimpsed a sea monster in their hometown lake, pondered the history of the American werewolf, or thought Bigfoot sightings only happened in other places. Read American Monsters, and prepare to discover the horror next door.
