Tracking the Man-Beasts: Sasquatch, Vampires, Zombies, and More [Paperback]

A noted investigator of the paranormal explores the historical, geographical, and cultural reaches of various manimals and other humanoid entities-among them such monster men as Gigantopithecus and Neanderthals; hairy man-beasts like Sasquatch and the elusive de Loys' Ape; supernatural beings, including werewolves, vampires, and devil men; and supposedly spaceship-borne entities like Mothman and the Roswell humanoids. This book takes the reader on expeditions into wilderness areas, explores historical contexts, and brings folkloric and iconographic evidence to bear on a category of mysteries as old as humanity. This fun book includes loads of information and would serve as a good overview for anyone interested in legends and monsters. -Library Journal“...it's hard to argue with Nickell's clearheaded examinations of popular legends or with his reasonable, logical conclusions. -Booklist
