About this listen

Step right up and behold a stupendous collection of over 250 fearsome and fantastical creatures from every state in the union!

The Black Dog of Hanging Hills, the Tommyknockers of Pennsylvania, the Banshee of the Badlands - these beasts and hundreds more will hold you spellbound, unable to turn away from their extraordinary stories. Come face to face with modern-day dinosaurs, extraterrestrials, dragons, lizard men, giants, and flying humanoids.

From Alabama to Wyoming and everywhere in between, these enigmatic abominations lurk in the darkest corners and the deepest shadows. Chasing American Monsters details the origins, appearance, and behaviors of these bizarre creatures so that if you should come across a terrifying beast in the wild, you'll know exactly what you're dealing with.

It seems like Chasing American Monsters is a fast reading A to Z of American Cryptids. It should be a learning experience for most enthusiasts. I imagine it covers almost all cryptids of the USA but that's all really. The stories are very quickly skipped over but the point seems to be more focussed on what has been seen without any great detail. I enjoyed it and I recommend it but it will leave you more curious than you were before you started listening. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

A good, quick read that will keep you listening.

From a cryptozoology perspective, whether a skeptic or believer, this is nothing more than the crypto version of reading a phone book...
It adds nothing already known and conflates possible creatures with utterly impossible creatures.
The only credit I can give this piece of audio garbage is that it sucked me in enough to get my money. Don't be stupid enough to give the author yours...

In a word...pathetic
