Characters so real you could name them from your own life, even as you call for them to run for cover. “There’s a bowstring undercurrent running through the whole of Max Brooks’s newest that’s liable to snap a reader in half. “The story is told in such a compelling manner that horror fans will want to believe and, perhaps, take the warning to heart.” - Booklist (starred review) tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 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. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us-and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. 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.īecause if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. 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 legendary beasts behind it.

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. The #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z is back with “the Bigfoot thriller you didn’t know you needed in your life, and one of the greatest horror novels I’ve ever read” (Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter and Recursion).Īs the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined.But what do you think? Have you read Devolution yet? Do you think my worries are unfounded? Sound off in the comments section below. So, why wouldn’t it happen with Devolution? You answer me that.Īnd those are just a few of the aspects that I feel the movie needs to nail to do the book justice. And I’m a bit concerned that the movie might cheapen this story somehow. Here, we get vivid descriptions and a true sense of fear with these creatures. In the book, the Bigfoot mythos is treated with just as much respect and adoration as the zombie mythos was treated in World War Z. But World War Z was a PG-13-rated zombie movie (who does that?), so I kind of get the feeling that this movie will not be taken as brutally seriously as Max Brooks intends for it to be.

Look, I’m not saying that Legendary Pictures is going to make this Harry and the Hendersons, 2021 edition (or whatever year the movie ends up happening). It Must Take Sasquatch Seriously And Not Treat The Bigfoot Mythos As A Joke
