The sightings of strange winged beings is as old as history itself and it’s still happening today. In the late summer of 2011, three reports of Mothman-like flying humanoids surfaced in the city of Chicago, then nothing. Whatever it was disappeared. Then unexpectedly in early 2017, a smattering of encounters emerged from different locations throughout the Chicago metro area. These reports quickly grew to nearly fifty before stopping suddenly at the end of the summer. Why Chicago? Why now? This book will examine the witness accounts as well as the investigators thought processes in real ...

Not a great audiobook, more of a time filler
Revisado: 01-29-24
The premise of the story was intriguing. However, the book is more or less a copy and paste of "reportings" (many of which contain similar phrasing that make me suspicious some are simply reports from the same person using a different name) with a quick insert by the author between each copy and paste (most, of the time, not every time which was a tad confusing for the listener since its all in first person). I made it approximately 3 hours into this story and decided I had no interest in finishing it. The novel has many typos which come out in the reading because it's done by virtual voice. The author claims to have a "task force" but for the first half of the story (I only got that far) they seem to be little more than friends who are not identified nor does the group as a whole ever seem to physically go anywhere to investigate anything. (many references are made to underpasses near "hot spots", how exciting would it he to hear detailed accounts of investigators going out to these locations to look for physical evidence, yet nothing of the sort happens). This is fine for listening if you need a time filler, but if you're hoping to have anything with intrigue that is well written and furthers the topic, this is not it. on a positive note, I found the virtual voice to be fairly good.

Mia is reluctant to go camping with her boyfriend and sister, who are graduate students working on a dissertation about American folklore. But ultimately, they convince her to help document the trip. The group sets off to Black Creek, a remote destination in the Pacific Northwest where Bigfoot has allegedly been sighted. They think they’re prepared for anything, but their sense of terror grows as they find more and more evidence to suggest the monster really is out there. Eventually, Mia realizes she’ll be lucky just to make it out of the woods alive.

pretty poor effort all around
Revisado: 06-16-23
the story is weak at best. I realize it's in the two hour neighborhood, but even by those standards it struggles. Aside from clearly taking "inspiration" (ripping off) a couple found footage styled films on the same topic, it has issues with whether or not it wants to be told from the vantage point of someone watching the found footage or from the viewpoint of the main protagonist. the voice acting is mediocre and honestly pales in comparison to a lot of fan made audiobooks on YouTube. The bigfoots' sounds are like a sound board button being pressed with 2 or 3 variations of the same person grunting. and let's not forget that the story has to have a two sentence reference to the charectors smoking weed. it didn't further the story or have any bearing on the story, but by golly the writer made sure to put those two sentences in there. overall, if you're driving and board out of your mind and you happen to be a fan of sasquatch type stuff, you would probably be better off finding a different story. if you're anything else, you're definitely better off finding a different story. unrealistic story (even for a bigfoot tale), unrelatable/unrealistic charectors, and lack of any form of originality (and the fact the storey clearly rips off a found footage film already in existence in which a group of friends go to an estranged family members abandoned cavin in the woods, get their vehicle which they left at the bottom of a hiking trail destroyed by bigfoot, try to hike out on foot and are attacked by a family of sasquatch)make this novella pretty poor.

They are coming. The countdown has begun. First visible only as blips on a telescope image, the discovery of objects approaching from Jupiter's orbit immediately sets humanity on edge. NASA doesn't even bother to deny the alien ships' existence. The popular Astral space app (broadcasting from the far side of the moon and accessible by anyone with Internet) has already shown the populace what is coming.

A book filled with unrelatable, unlikable people.
Revisado: 03-22-23
I gave this book 3.5 hours hoping it would come together, but it was just awful. There are heavy misogynistic tones throughout. Poorly written charectors without any realistic thought process, or motivation, and overall a plot that is is riddled with the main protagonist making counterintuitive decisions surrounding himself with women are are written to be helpless, senseless, and wouldn't survive in any world let alone an apocalyptic setting. The main protagonist is supposed to be a millionaire (billionaire?), libertarian (prettt obvious), media tycoon who apparently surrounds himself with liberal women who can't seem to be capable of making an intelligent or rational decision and have to be spoon fed instructions and whine the entire time. Realistically, a charector like that would have an armed security detail with him at all times and would never succeed in life being surrounded with the charectors in this novel. He is supposed to be a savvy, foreward thinking, everything planned and thought through individual. However he is continuously foiled by traffic jams because he apparently doesnt understand that county roads are a thing that exists as an alternative to highway travel through major cities riddled with turmoil and riots. The first 3.5 hours of the story can be summed up as "helpless women, with no common sense, in a car with a man, stuck in traffic. I'm a Sci-fi, action, horror, mythology fan. But this isn't for me.
