Chasing North American Monsters

Here in North America, there be monsters! Jason Offutt takes you on a thrilling adventure across all twenty-three countries―as well as every state and territory of the US, Canada, and Mexico―to meet one or more monsters in each location. This book travels to Alaska, the Caribbean, Greenland, and beyond.

• Find the horned boa known as Madre de Aguas in Cuba.

• Head to Honduras to spot el Comelenguas, the tongue-eating giant bird.

• Catch a glimpse of the Grafton Monster along West Virginia's roads.

• Escape from the Ikusik, the human-devouring corpse of Greenland.

• Track the Were-Jaguar (half-man, half-cat) across Tabasco, Mexico.

From Arizona's Lizard Man to Canada's Wendigo, this book opens your eyes to the monstrous wonders of North America. Are you up for the chase?
