Meet the monsters in our midst, from bigfoot to Mothman and beyond!
Welcome to the United States of Cryptids, where mysterious monsters
lurk in the dark forests, deep lakes, and sticky swamps of all
fifty states. From the infamous Jersey Devil to the obscure
Snallygaster, travel writer and chronicler of the strange J. W.
Ocker uncovers the bizarre stories of these creatures and
investigates the ways in which communities embrace and celebrate
their local cryptids. Readers will learn about: Batsquatch of
Washington, a winged bigfoot that is said to have emerged from the
eruption of Mount Saint Helens Nain Rouge of Michigan, a fierce red
goblin that has been spotted before every major city disaster in
Detroit Flatwoods Monster of West Virginia, a robotic
extraterrestrial that crash-landed in rural Appalachia Lizard Man
of South Carolina, a reptilian mutant that attacked a teenager in
the summer of 1988 Glocester Ghoul of Rhode Island, a
fire-breathing dragon that guards a hoard of pirate treasure And
many more! Whether you believe in bigfoot or not, this fully
illustrated compendium is a fun, frightening, fascinating tour
through American folklore and history, exploring the stories we
tell about monsters and what those stories say about us.
