Thanks Linda!

Another 5-star review, this time from Linda Godfrey.

Wisconsin-based author Linda Godfrey reviewed my book on November 16th 2007, read what she had to say here:

http://www.beastofbrayroad.com/bloga.html

Linda has written exhaustively over the years on all manner of strange creatures, from Bigfoot, to her specialist subject of Wolf-men, which often cross into 'zooform' territory in their weirdness.

'The Beast Of Bray Road' (Prairie Oak Press 2003) and 'Hunting The American Werewolf' (Trails Books 2006) are without doubt to of the finest zooform-related books out there, and I frequently thumb through them in search of inspiration as the night draws in.

All I can say is, thank you so much Linda for the support, friendship and kind words, and I suggest anyone with an interest not just in cryptozoology, but in reading in general, check out her books, plus her new one, 'Strange Wisconsin', which I'll be reviewing shortly here.

Rochester Chronicle

In the Autumn/Winter edition of local Rochester Chronicle, Neil's book was featured on page 3 with a large article.
'Monster!' also received Halloween publicity from the Medway Messenger.

Talks:
Author Neil Arnold spoke of the book whilst being part of the Halloween Blue Bell Hill annual ghost walk, alongside road ghost expert Sean Tudor http://www.roadghosts.com/

The Legend Of Goatman

Neil has an article in the latest "Animals & Men" magazine (issue 41) available from the guys at: http://www.cfz.org.uk/ pertaining to a 'zooform' classic....that being the legend of the Goatman, a sinister, shadowy figure that has roamed the woodlands of the U.S.A. for decades.

Such a campfire critter has terrified teens, locals and folklore researchers for many, many years but as Neil explores in the article, such an entity may well be a sum of many confusing, and complex parts, having one foot maybe in the realm of urban legends, another limb in the world of Bigfoot, as well as fingers in many folkloric pies as such, creating in turn a nightmarish prowler of the backwoods.

However, Neil has also uncovered a treasure trove of similar beings from Europe and the rest of the world, strange horned man-beasts, hoofed humanoids and other Satyr-like spectres.

Canadian Radio Book Promotion

Neil will appear on the Richard Syrett Show (Canada) http://www.richardsyrett.com on November 1st 5:00 am (UK Time).

Neil on Ghost Finder's radio

I'll be on Ghost Finder's Radio, Wednesday 10th October, 2007, at 9-0 pm discussing the book. http://www.ghostfinders.co.uk/

The interview went extremely well. One hour of challenging questions regarding the book, as well as chat with the hosts on a number of paranormal related phenomena.

I'd like to thank Mark for showing an interest. The show can be heard on the website archives.

Man-Monkey : A book pertaining to zooform, by Nick Redfern

There are many legends hidden within the annals of UK folklore, which, since their obscure birth, have demanded attention yet for so long, received none.

The 'Man-Monkey' of Ranton, Shropshire, born in the 1800s, is one of those eerie and strange stories which has finally been give the research and exposure it so richly deserves, because such a subject of horror and intrigue is the stuff classic zooform's are made of.

Nick Redfern, author of 'Three Men Seeking Monsters' and creator of http://www.monsterusa.blogspot.com/ has uncovered a veritable feast of clandestine links, bizarre connections, hideous rumour and peculiar fact in this vital book (published by CFZ Press 2007 Isbn: 978-1-905723-16-4).

From its spawning, the nightmarish prowler of the Union Canal and its surrounding thickets, has appeared as an ape-like yet seemingly supernatural humanoid. Covered in hair, strong and agile, with glowing eyes, said to attack cars, sometimes people, if you believe the first ever sighting from 1879, and such a beast has somehow existed in the local woods and folklore over time, awaiting discovery, and thankfully Nick has wrenched the facts from the foggy myth to present this 147 page necessity to cryptozoology, paranormal and the surreal world of zooform phenomena.

Here, the author unearths a treasure trove of eye-witness testimony, shady characters and other bouts of high strangeness in the area ranging from phantom hounds to large cats, from black magic to weird creatures seen swimming the waters.

Are the varying anomalies linked ? Or is this complex enigma nothing more than murky ghost story ? Is the marauding beast simply offspring of monkey's that escaped many years ago, or truly something abominable from the shadows ? We'll never know the truth behind the Man-Monkey because like so many other zooform creatures, the shadow it casts is always deceptive, the traces it leaves usually confusing, but what Nick has done is provide a thrilling insight not just into a much ignored monster mystery, but a glimpse into the legends of a very strange place.

I couldn't put the book down and so read it in one evening, and I trust that you, dear reader, do the same, always keeping one eye on the darkest corner of the room.

The book is available worldwide.
