THE AMERICAN WEREWOLF by
Linda S. Godfrey (2006)

upright like a man! Don’t believe it? How do you explain dozens
of verified sightings throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan,
and nationwide? In this fascinating book, best-selling author and
award-winning journalist Linda Godfrey continues the hunt she began
in The Beast of Bray Road. With only her investigative mind and
her wry sense of humor, she takes on weird creatures too bizarre
to be real—and too well documented to be mere fairy-tales.
