As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier's eruption swirled and finally
settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined
. . . until now. But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the
town's bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-
shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks
brings Kate's extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully
reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the
massacre and the beasts behind it, once thought legendary but now known to be
terrifyingly real. Kate's is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of
humanity's defiance in the face of a terrible predator's 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 us - and 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 it - and
like none you've ever read before.
