As a reader with a relatively broad spectrum of interests in
fiction, I find myself frequently at a loss as to what I want to read next, as
the options can be overwhelming. On the
other hand, sometimes I know exactly what I want. And I wanted monster mayhem.
Erik Evensen’s The
Beast of Wolfe’s Bay is set in a small town where a string of strange
disappearances appears to have culminated in a murder, and the evidence baffles
the local law enforcement. So they call
in two academics, who set out on the trail of what appears to be a bigfoot
attack.
The story is very much like many monster movies, where
occasional plot holes do exist, but part of the fun is embracing the story wholeheartedly
despite them. Evensen does a wonderful
job of laying the plot out for the reader, and making his characters successful
enough to carry the story along at a significant clip. Truly, I found myself flying through this
book, and having fun the whole time.
Fans of monster horror fiction, monster movies, or cryptids
will have a blast with this. The Beast of Wolfe’s Bay is fun graphic
fiction at its very finest.
