For centuries, people across the world have had a fascination with monsters and strange creatures. They marvel at the tales and legends of the Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest; of the Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas; of the infamous and diabolical Moth-Man of West Virginia; of fire-breathing dragons; and of those dark denizens of the deep: lake monsters and sea serpents. But do such creatures really exist? Can it be true that our planet is home to fantastic beasts that lurk deep within its forests and waters? Memoirs of a Monster Hunter proves the answer is a resounding yes! In this follow-up to his wildly successful Three Men Chasing Monsters , paranormal investigator and author Nick Redfern chronicles his surreal road-trip through the United States and beyond in search of all-things monstrous. His strange adventures lasted five years and saw him doggedly pursuing a menagerie of creatures, including gargoyles, giant birds, and what some believe are living dinosaurs. Follow Redfern as he: Explores the El Yunque rainforest of Puerto Rico in search of the terrifying Chupacabras: a razor-clawed, glowing-eyed beast that is part giant bat and part vampire. Seeks out the Goat Man: a menacing creature that evokes imagery of both demons and the fabled cloven-hoofed Centaurs of ancient mythology, and is said to inhabit the forests of East Texas. Chases after what many people believe are real-life, flesh-and-blood werewolves that surface from hidden lairs and prowl the countryside when the Moon is full. Part X-Files , part Crocodile Hunter with a mix of Jurassic Park and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas , Memoirs of a Monster Hunter takes you on a roller-coaster ride into the unknown. Read personal accounts of the monsters that inhabit your wildest imagination and your worst nightmares. The creatures you were told couldn't possibly exist, really do.

"Memoirs of a Monster Hunter" is Nick Redfern's latest collection of tales surrounding his world where creatures of the night, Bigfoot, ghost lights and phantom animals abound. It is as much an autobiography as it is an exploration of cryptozoology and monster hunting.
Although not getting too detailed in any of these encounters, Redfern describes events in his life covering the time period from about 2001-06. The reader is exposed to some of his adventures and meets some of his colorful friends along the way. Whether chasing a chupacabra through Puerto Rico or seeking the Goat-Man of Texas, Redfern tells us the highlights of his encounters.
This is an easy and fast read, but it's not for everyone. This isn't an academic study of the field. Mr. Redfern's writing style is laid back and seemingly honest, as if one is actually talking with the author. He packs a lot of information into a small space with this book, but some of his earlier titles are far more detailed.
Those details aside, I'd still recommend this title to people interested in the areas of cryptozoology, UFO studies, and those who are curious about the people who investigate these fields.
