True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive? Bookgasm

Saying, "You can enjoy the book as an entertaining history lesson, as a serious first peek behind the reality of an elusive creature perhaps still lurking in the vast wildernesses of our strange planet, or as a collection of folk tales and myths from the frozen tundra of Siberia to the Islands of the South Seas", JT Lindroos presents an enticing review of the new effort from cryptozoologists Loren Coleman and Mark A. Hall, released in December by Anomalist Books. Does something more than Bigfoot/Sasquatch, Yeti, Yowie, Yeren, Almasty, Orang-Pendek and Mande Burung prowl the world's deep forests and hard-to-reach places? Elsewhere, Loren Coleman has an update on three hikers who entered one of those "hard-to-reach places" last summer, an area where they could have been searching for Bigfoot, but, instead, were looking for the fabled Lost Dutchman's Mine, as seen in Superstitions Take Three. Meanwhile, Neil Arnold reports on another encounter with an out-of-place feline in the British Isles with Bizarre 'Big Cat' Story of the Month, and Dr. Karl Shuker reveals his alter-ego as an accomplished poet with a bit of verse he penned thirty years ago, seen in A Nessie-ssary Rhyme!
