Critic reviews

"Just the sort of thing that kids of an earlier era used to enjoy at the Saturday matinee." (Booklist)

The title lives up to it's name

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes if he or she were interested in this subject because the book was very well written andit had a variety of characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tyler Greenwood . this character had it all a nice family money basically the perfect life , but while on a camping trip he encountered something in the woods that mainstream science refuses to except is real sends Greenwood on a downward plunge of self destruction while he searches to prove that what he saw that day is real, show ing how you can start out at having it all and next thing you know the least little thing can change your whole life upside down if you let it get that far.

What about William Dufris’s performance did you like?

I thought the overall book was very well written I liked the storyline amd I am a fan of the book subject so I thought the author really did an exhalent job on researching background material. I would like to see more of his works if possible.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I could try , but at 7 hours it would be pushing it, definitely could get past half of it in one setting though

Any additional comments?

definitely a keeper although some of the killings were predictable you just knew once some things were set in motion it was a given, I like at least some unpredictability or maybe I just ask for too much anyway a pretty good book Thanks audible Roy

A Great Story

awesome story had me so intrigued from beginning to end I would recommend this book to anyone.

not bad worth the credit.

very good tale. glad I gave it a listen. hope to listen to more like this.

Great narrator and fast paced Bigfoot horror story!

I had initially thought that the narration lacked something that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. But as the story went on I realized that this narrator was actually great at doing all the voices (including the ladies and Ben, the Native American man) but the main character’s. It wasn’t that he wasn’t good enough for voicing his character, I just had different expectations for what I expected the manly main character to sound like, but overall this voice actor did an excellent job. Story itself was good also. You can tell that it was written in the early 2000’s which took me back to my 20’s, during a time when we didn’t understand cultural bias. This book covers some interesting topics in that it calls the Native American, an Indian and brings in the cultural stereotype that they had a much deeper connection with the Earth and the animals who live here which wouldn’t be considered “woke” now. But putting aside some of these issues the story is a good horror creature feature that isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty. The story keeps a good pace and gives the reader not only the 1st person perspective of all the major characters but also of the creature itself, providing a unique perspective into its motivations. All in all this book is a great story that should be enjoyed by anyone who loves a great horror story featuring an iconic creature from legend!

Surprisingly Good! Could not stop listening !

I enjoyed this audiobook thoroughly! It kept me engaged . I loved the characters. There is only one thing I didn’t care for but I will not disclose that so as not to ruin the ride for new listeners

Great story, characters, not one complaint!!

I liked the story, the point of view from creature's perspective, that was great! Characters were very good, one I disliked extremely, so it stirred up something lol. Narrator was very good too. I'd highly recommend this title. Godspeed!!!!

Very above average for type.

Good story , great performance, nicely done. Not terrifying or scary , more eerie than anything and that is what it’s better than average. It’s intelligently written. Almost as if it actually happened.

Dufris's narration made this book a thrill ride

The character development was superb ! I thoroughly enjoyed how William Dufris's narration brought the characters to life.

Another one worth the purchase

Okay, the character building was a bit thick in the beginning but well worth it. I am going to listen to it again because it was terrifying and gruesome. You like big, furry, and very smart cryptids you'll probably like this one. I know I have it in my favorites.

One of my favorites

I have always loved Bigfoot stories and this story is one of the best! The narration is superb
