Book Review: Coleman and Hall's True Giants The Gralien Report
Micah Hanks gives the most extensive review yet of the new book by cryptozoologists Mark A. Hall and Loren Coleman, True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive? Hanks calls the book a "fascinating read" as he sets the prospective reader on a path to understanding the question of whether or not a biped even larger than the creatures identified as Bigfoot, Yeti, Yowie, Almasty, Yeren, or one of several other localized names, still exists in the wilds of the world. Meanwhile, Coleman traces the lineage of yuletide's best recognized figure in Santa's Family Tree and follows up with Santa = Wildman, with images. And Dr. Karl Shuker has some information "about the most elusive crypto-primate of all," too, as he talks about the jolly old elf in Father Christmas, Meet Santa Claus! And, if you don't get how Saint Nicholas fits into cryptozoology, Lindsay Selby explains in Is Santa Claus a Cryptid?
