Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z is back with the Bigfoot thriller you didnt know you needed in your life, and one of the greatest horror novels Ive ever read (Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter and Recursion).
FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD
As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainiers 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 towns bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowingand too earth-shattering in its implicationsto be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kates 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. Kates is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanitys defiance in the face of a terrible predators 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 usand 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 itand like none youve ever read before.
Praise for Devolution
Delightful . . . [A] tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
