I Know What I Saw: Modern-Day Encounters with Monsters of New Urban Legend and Ancient Lore by Linda S. Godfrey

informative medium-paced

2.5

Perhaps most notable for putting forth the notion that Enkidu is a (proto?) Sasquatch figure. Generally lacking a sense of journalistic skepticism, or critical analysis of reports beyond "this element of x sighting is consistent with y sighting". Attempts to make up for this dearth with an overabundance of dog people.

I love this book so much but I haven't had time to read it in ages so I'll just have to come back to it again.
