New Book: Monsters of Texas

Monsters of Texas - By Ken Gerhard & Nick Redfern

Texas - or the Lone Star State, as it is affectionately and widely known - is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population, spanning no less than an astonishing 268,820 square miles, and with an ever-growing population that is currently in excess of 24 million. Houston is its largest city and the fourth-largest in the United States; while Dallas–Fort Worth is the biggest metropolitan area in the state, and the fourth-largest in the nation. Other major cities in this diverse and multi-cultural state include San Antonio, and the capital: Austin.

But that is not all: all across Texas there lurks a wide array of monsters, mysterious beasts and diabolical creatures that science tells us do not exist – but that a significant percentage of the good folk of Texas certainly know otherwise.

In Monsters of Texas, you will learn a great deal about countless bizarre critters, including the following:

· Giant winged-things: feathered batmen, huge birds, pterodactyl-like beasts, and glowing-eyed gargoyle-style entities that haunt the Texas-Mexico border;
· Texas’ very own version of Puerto Rico’s infamous vampire-like monster, the Chupacabras;
· Blood-thirsty, predatory werewolves said roaming the wilds of Texas by the eerie light of a full moon;
· Texan equivalents of the famous Loch Ness Monster of Scotland: water-based beasts of unknown origin and identity that occasionally surface from the murky depths;
· The legend of the hairy wild-man, and wild-woman, of the Navidad that struck terror into the minds and souls of the people of the area way back in the 1800s;
· Encounters of the distinctly Bigfoot kind in central and east Texas; as well as in the state’s legendary and mysterious Big Thicket woods;
· Out-of-place animals: those creatures that are found within the Lone Star State, yet that have apparently strayed – sometimes inexplicably so - far away from their normal habitats;
· Those truly ominous beasts that may be far less than flesh-and-blood in nature, and far more paranormal and supernatural in origin;
· The diabolical, cloven-hoofed Goat-Men that haunt the dark woods of Lake Worth, the old Alton Bridge at Denton, and Dallas’ White Rock Lake;
