Review quotes... "An extremely enjoyable and spooky ride." - Sean Whitley, director Southern Fried Bigfoot "Amazingly researched and absolutely gripping." - Dave Alexander, editor Rue Morgue magazine "Blackburn adeptly weaves the stories, interviews and observations into a page-turner." - Ian Clark, New Hampshire Sunday News "Destined to become a cryptozoological classic!" - Nick Redfern, author of Monster Diary (and countless other books) "... a first-rate piece of journalism." - Bob Yarger, Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy "I could not put this book down." - Neil Arnold, author of Monster! : The A-Z of Zooform Phenomenon "A must have for all movie fans, history buffs, and bigfooters!" - Kathy Moskowitz Strain, author of Giants, Cannibals & Monsters "A coherent, thorough and entertaining yarn." - Aaron Brand, Texarkana Gazette newspaper "Blackburn has written is a top notch treatment of this famous monster of the south. And he does this in a clear, concise, well organized manner. Don't be surprised if you find yourself glued to the book like me." - just one example of the great reviews at Amazon "The book is, to put it in one word "Awesome!" This is not a book that Lyle took a couple of stories and slapped a cover on it. He has done his homework, that I suspect, involved a lot of road trips to Fouke and Jonesville and to local newspapers. Not only is it well researched, but the whole format keeps you glued to the pages. It really is hard to put down once you start reading it." - reader comment at Cryptomundo.com
