I was thinking this was going to be more of an encyclopedic record of various "man-beasts", not necessarily a refutation of their existence. Also Nickell's frequent references to his previous writing got a little annoying. It made me wonder why he wrote this book at all. ( ) no reviews | add a review
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.
