Monsters of Texas – New Book Out Now!
by admin on Jul.01, 2010, under Uncategorized
A look at mysterious creatures around the Lone Star State.
I’m pleased and proud to announce the release of Monsters of Texas, co-authored with my good friend, the very brilliant Nick Redfern and published by CFZ Publications. This work is the culmination of several years of research by Nick and Myself. Together we’ve covered a myriad of mysterious beasts across the Lone Star State, no easy task considering the region’s great size. In addition to unpublished reports of Big Birds and giant, flying things, we’ve included a variety of man-beasts around the state such as Lake Worth’s Goat Man, Bigfoot, the legendary Wild Man of the Navidad and even werewolves. We also present the entire story of Texas’ blood sucking Chupacabras, since it came onto the scene a few years ago. Sea serpents and lake monsters of various types are discussed, as well as extraordinary creatures like gargoyles, dinosaurs and a dubious character known as the Dancing Devil. Notable Texas tall tales like the Jackalope and the Donkey Lady are mentioned, as well as unusual animals – enormous fish, feral monkeys and black panthers to name a few. In addition, some of Texas’ top monster hunters are profiled. There’s something for anybody whose interested in cryptozoology, anomalous occurrences or just Texas culture and folklore. Check out – The Monsters of Texas! Now available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble!

Looks like a VERY interesting book! Have been a friend (and Amazon reviewer) of Nick’s for several years now and always enjoy his literary shenanigans. Have also heard you on netcasts and enjoyed what you’ve had to say. Looking forward to this as Texas does indeed have a lot of colorful “boogers” within its borders.
The best to you guys!

Ken,
My family lives in a small and secluded area outside an even smaller town named Sims in Arkansas. We are in the Ouachita National Forest area. Today while working outside on our barn, my son and husband both witnessed a huge bird flying over then landing in our pasture. It took off again almost immediately, but they describe it as being much larger than any bird they have ever seen and with a wing span around 15 to 20 feet. My son says he definitely saw its head and it was white. The rest of the bird’s body was black. We have seen many large birds – including eagles and vultures, but nothing of this size. Could you tell us if you have had any sightings in this area? Also, has anyone ever had a repeat sighting? Too bad I was at work….would have loved to catch a peek at one!

Hi Liz! Thanks for sharing your family’s experience with me. I am aware of thunderbird reports and legends from the Ozarks. The Ouachita is, of course famous for Bigfoot sightings. That’s interesting about the bird’s head being white. I’ve received a lot of reports lately that indicate gigantic eagles may be flying around North America. Some people have claimed repeat sightings, so you might consider keeping a camera close by when moving about your property. Both of my books contain a variety of flying thing reports. Thanks again!
