Description

The United States has been invaded - if the dozens of eyewitnesses are to be believe - by upright, canine creatures that look like the traditional werewolves and act as if they own our woods, fields, and highways. What's hiding in the woods Researcher, author, and reporter Linda S. Godfrey has been tracking sightings of upright canids since the early 1990s, when she wrote about the first reported sightings of the Wisconsin creature she dubbed the 'Beast of Bray Road.' In her continuing quest, Godfrey has undertaken the only large-scale cataloguing and investigation of reports of modern sightings of unknown, upright canids. In Real Wolfmen, she presents the most compelling cases from the modern history of these sightings, along with a through exploration of their habits, habitats, and the possible origins of these creatures. First-person accounts from Godfrey's witnesses, who have encountered these creatures everywhere from outside their car windows to face-to-face in their own backyards, each describe human-size canines who are able to walk upright, interact fearlessly with humans, and, sometimes, suddenly and mysteriously disappear. Godfrey's research takes her across the country, investigating noted cases of canine creature sightings like North Dakota's 'Hide and Seek' Dogman, the Farm Stalker of losco County, Michigan, the Creature of Emuckfaw Creek, Alabama, and dozens more. Are these creatures ingenious frauds Demons Brings from a parallel realm Or the next stage in animal evolution Whatever their nature, Godfrey gives us plenty of evidence that 'werewolves' are not just a horror-movie fancy. 'A riveting work or amazing scope and depth. You'll be hooked from the first page.' Rosemary Ellen Guiley, author of The Encyclopedia of Vampires and Werewolves

"Godfrey impresses me with the sheer totality of her information. Nothing is left unexplored, if possible."
John R. Ellis, Fourth Day Universe

If I was to ask you what two words are most relevant to the phenomenon of werewolves and lycanthropes you might well say Full and Moon. Or, Silver and Bullet. Well, youre definitely on the right track, but I say those two words are Linda and Godfrey! Yep, not only is Linda the most well-known chronicler of all-things wolfman-themed, but shes certainly the most prolific one, too. This new title from Linda is one that I definitely recommend to anyone and everyone who has voraciously devoured Lindas previous studies of the werewolf phenomenon. And if youre a newcomer to the subject, and want to learn what its really all about, its just about the most important book you can read on the phenomenon to date. And I dont write words like that lightly.

"It is hard to believe that such a creature could exist. However, the witness accounts in Real Wolfmen are often very compelling. Pick up a copy and see for yourself."
