The release date for the English version of 'Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre' by
Max Brooks is Jun 2020. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.
The account of the Greenloop massacre has gone unreported and unanalyzed up to this point as the ash and mayhem from Mount Rainier's eruption swirled and eventually settled.
However, the diaries of local Kate Holland, who was rescued from the gory debris of the town, tell a story that is too horrific and profoundly disturbing to be forgotten.
Max Brooks presents Kate's remarkable story for the first time in these pages, faithfully reiterating her words alongside his own in-depth research on the atrocity and the mythical creatures that caused it.
The story of Kate is one of unanticipated fortitude and resiliency, of humanity's defiance in the face of a terrifying predator, and ultimately, of brutality and death.
It is, however, much more than that.
We have to accept the impossibility if Kate Holland's accounts of what she observed back then are accurate. We have to come to terms with the fact that Bigfoot is a real animal and that it is a beast of incredible strength and ferocity.
This is a Bigfoot story like none you've ever read before, told in a way that only Max Brooks could: it's half survival tale, part violent horror thriller, and part scientific investigation into the limits between fact and fiction.
