Cowboys & Monsters: Vampires, Mummies, and Werewolves of the Wild West
商品資訊
商品簡介
No, this is not another book comprised of Old West ghost stories and campfire tales. This is a tome about tangible, flesh and blood monsters that allegedly terrorized the Western Frontier according to real newspaper articles of the era. And by monsters we mean real-life vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and other supernatural beings manifested in the flesh. In this book you'll journey to a Western Frontier where werewolves haunted Wisconsin long before the Beast of Bray Road, vampires roamed the ranges of Nebraska, ancient mummies were unearthed in places as diverse as Kentucky, Colorado, and Oklahoma, and skinwalkers proved to be the scourge of the Southwest.
After reading this book, you'll ask yourself: What was the purpose of the Phantom Rider that haunted Jesse James? Did the Ridgeway Phantom of 19th Century Wisconsin shapeshift into the Mineral Point Vampire of the 1980s? Was a 1920 circus train wreck caused by the cursed mummy of John Wilkes Booth? Did skinwalkers really terrorize Ganado Lake, Arizona? Was New Orleans socialite Jacques St. Germain also Comte de St. Germain, an immortal vampire from the 18th Century? Who was the werewolf woman of Talbot County, Georgia? Did Jack the Ripper leave London to become a murderous bartender in Benson, Arizona? And finally, what happens when you remove the metal stake from the vampire's grave in Dalby Springs, Texas?
Ultimately, one can only wonder if European settlers brought their tales of undead monsters with them to America, or if the monsters themselves were here all along...
