FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WORLD WAR Z 'TRUE TERROR'
Guardian 'NAIL CHOMPING SUSPENSE' Total Film
______________________________________ As the ash and chaos from
Mount Rainier's eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of
the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until
now. But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the
town's bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too
earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In these
pages, Max Brooks brings Kate's extraordinary account to light for
the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own
extensive investigations into the massacre and the beasts behind
it, once thought legendary but now known to be terrifyingly real.
Kate's is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of
humanity's defiance in the face of a terrible predator's gaze, and
inevitably, of savagery and death. Yet it is also far more than
that. Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then
we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature
known as Bigfoot walks among us - and that it is a beast of
terrible strength and ferocity. Part survival narrative, part
bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries
between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max
Brooks could chronicle it - and like none you've ever read before.
