Bigfoot?
Check.
Phantom
black dogs? Check.
Werewolves?
Check.
Giant
mystery birds? They’re here, too.
Toss in some haunted woods, spooky
cemeteries, crop circles, and crashed
UFOs and you’ve got Nick Redfern’s latest road trip across two
continents
for all things cryptozoological or otherwise mysterious. This is the
third in
a series of excursions into the occult fringe for the indefatigable
Redfern.
It all started with Three
Men Seeking Monsters, which Booklist called
“lively
and entertaining,” and was followed by Memoirs of a Monster Hunter,
which his colleagues have called “wild and wooly” and “fascinating.”
Now,
in this latest volume, Redfern defies all the laws of self-preservation
and
offers himself as bait in the face of the unknown – to learn, if indeed,
There’s
Something in the Woods.

What thy're
saying about the book...
"Many
book reviews give details of exactly what the book contains, but I
think that would spoil the enjoyment of reading it. Suffice it to say
that if you’re a fan of Nick Redfern, which I most definitely am, you
will want to read this book right through to the end without putting it
down. I loved this book..." – Kithra, Women Of Esoterica
