Book Review: The Unleashing by Clint Romag

This book, clocking in at just over 100 pages, is a true page-turner which keeps the reader glued to each page. It follows the story of Chad Gamin, his friend Shane and his father Willard, along with a group of campers and hunters, in the forests of Canada, who seem to be settling in for a good hunting trip for a week, when everything goes horribly wrong when Shane shoots what he thinks is a bear, but turns out to be a young Bigfoot. When he cuts off a part of the hand of this youngling and he and Chad return to camp, they are followed by a large Sasquatch, possibly the father or mother, and this sets off a chain reaction of terror and slaughter unlike any seen in even the movies. The entire clan of Bigfoot individuals in that area goes completely ballistic against any human and they willfully prey on humans, which leads to a most interesting conclusion and many narrow escapes. This book is written in the vein of The Shadowkiller and Dark Woods, with a touch of Jaws thrown in for good measure. I do recommend this crypto-fiction novel, even if it is not exactly an accurate portrayal of the true nature of the Forest Giants.
