Max Brooks
The number one New York Times best-selling 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).
As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. 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. In this audiobook, 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. 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.
Yet it is also far more than that.
Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us - and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity.
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 heard before.

Critic reviews
"There’s a bowstring undercurrent running through the whole of Max Brooks’s newest that’s liable to snap a reader in half. Characters so real you could name them from your own life, even as you call for them to run for cover. Max Brooks has written the next great epistolary novel. Devolution is phenomenal.” (Josh Malerman, New York Times best-selling author of Bird Box and Malorie)
“A masterful blend of laugh-out-loud social satire and stuff-your-fist-in-your-mouth horror. One elevates the other, making the book, and its message, all the more relevant.” (David Sedaris, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Calypso)
"I wish we could elevate the national dialogue on public safety to a level of tone and focus that Max Brooks has demonstrated for all of us.” (Tom Ridge, former governor of Pennsylvania and first secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security)
Featured Article: Book vs. Movie—Jurassic Park
Michael Crichton's 1990 sci-fi best seller became a cultural phenomenon with Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster film adaptation. But what are the key differences between the novel and the movie? One of the most beloved sci-fi adventure films ever made, Spielberg's juggernaut Jurassic Park is a feat of animatronic work, impeccable casting, and wildly perfect pacing. No less incredible, still, is the novel on which it's based, Crichton's masterpiece. But just how similar are the two? If you're looking for the major differences between Jurassic Park the book and the movie, we've got you covered.

A lot of the reviews of this book are very negative about Judy Greer's performance, which is a shame because it is a well done performance. One shouldn't confuse character with actor, she is performing the character well, the character starts off as an anxious whiner and grows throughout. But if you hate the sound of women's voices, I guess you should be forewarned.
The story itself feels schlocky, but I feel like that was part of Brooks' goal. It is a horror novel, and it doesn't pretend to be anything else. I did appreciate the Mostar character, and I appreciated that the main character was too self centered to ask about her past. I also appreciated the criticism of urbanites who claim to love nature without understanding it. The book doesn't take itself too seriously, but Brooks gets some good cultural observation jabs in.
Very good performances

So, in closing, I definitely recommend this audiobook. Try it out for yourself and judge it on its own merits instead of comparing it to previous works.
It’s not as bad as everyone says

Brooks is great at telling a story through multiple narrators with different voices. And the story was well research. But it wasn’t as good as world war z. It was engaging. But a little preachy on reliance on technology
Fun book but not as good as world war z
