Top of The Food Chain?
Babble Creek, North Carolina is as small and rural a town as you can get. Jeff Taylor was a normal twelve-year-old boy growing up there until the night he went with his Dad to investigate what killed their livestock. That night he would witness his family's murder at the hands of a sasquatch. Fifteen years later and now an Iraqi war vet Jeff has returned to get revenge on the creature that changed his life forever. What happens when Jeff finds and kills his monster is something he could not have foreseen. The sasquatch he killed isn't the only one living in the deep woods around Babble Creek and now it's their turn for revenge.
Eric S. Brown has taken the story of Bigfoot and turned it on its head. These aren't the peaceful human-like creatures that cryptozoologists have speculated on for years. The sasquatches in BIGFOOT WAR are the stuff of nightmares. They are bigger, stronger, and faster than any scientific documentation may suggest. They are vicious creatures and can tear a man in half the way you'd tear paper. This is a fast-paced novella that grabs you by the throat at page one. A handful of characters are used to take the reader through the obliteration of an entire town. Jeff Taylor had no idea what he was unleashing on Babble Creek when he let his hate lead him home. The foreshadowing of Jeff not being wanted in town because of the media attention he caused all those years ago was brilliant. If these monsters really exist then we're in trouble because they are at the top of the food chain and they enjoy tearing flesh apart.
BIGFOOT WAR is a bloody, gory, and fun read. This is exactly how I like my horror-messy as hell and lacking any trace of a happy ending. I highly recommend it.
