Summary: A Plesent Surprise
Comment: It seems impossible that the original "Mysterious America" came out in 1983,it feels like I've had it forever. It is virtually impossible to have any lengthy conversation in Forteana without referring back to Loren's Masterwork. So when I got it,it was to backup a well thumbed copy of the original. What a joy to read all the new material! It's like a brand new book. Mr. Coleman loves lists and his are actually useful,so don't be upset that the last forty pages or so are lists . These will help you get lost in some really strange places and put you in touch with odd people and bizarre events. I speak from experience. Enjoy this book and use it! This book is a tool not just a reference.Loren Coleman is one of the very few full service Forteans still writing and researching all anomalous events.

Summary: Great book dealing with mysteries in our own backyard
Comment: This is a great book and very enjoyable to read. Once begun, it was difficult to put down. It includes chapters on many mysterious possible denizens of North America such as Champ, Bigfoot, Nape, and mystery big cats. Also included are some which are pure folklore (or are they?) such as they Jersey Devil. One Chapter entitled "The Name Game" shed some light on nearby forteana for me ie. the one Bigfoot sighting chronicled in a newspaper in my area was from Fayetteville. The lists in the back of the book also prove useful for researching spook lights, lake monsters and other unexplained phenomena and includes a regional bibliography for your area of Mysterious America. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in folklore or cryptozoology and has a prominent place in my cryptozoological library. Thanks Loren for another great book and I look forward to more.
