Publisher's Summary

Bigfoot wants revenge! Just as Jaws terrified people right out of the water, The Shadowkiller will keep readers out of the woods...for good.

©2007 Matthew Scott Hansen; (P)2007 Tantor Media Inc.

What the Critics Say

"Just the sort of thing that kids of an earlier era used to enjoy at the Saturday matinee." (Booklist)

From AudioFile

People are disappearing in Snohomish County, Washington, and the police believe a serial killer is at work, although no bodies have been found. But there's no mystery here. The listener knows from the outset: "Bigfoot is angry." Bigfoot is also psychic. And bloodthirsty. William Dufris pulls out the stops, investing all the energy and enthusiasm needed for a rousing ghost story. But he gets little help from author Hansen. Banal writing; implausible, predictable plotting; and stereotypical characters, with plenty of arm-ripping and brain-splattering, offer little more than gristle and gore, and what should be scary is just silly. However, thanks to Dufris's inspired delivery, even the most cliched situations in this bizarre tale offer some fun. (c) AudioFile 2007

By: Dana (Anderson, SC, USA)

This droned on with no surprises. The ending was telegraphed from the very beginning. The plot is a non-variation of many horror B movies with some not-very-credible themes of redemption of a riches to rags family man. I picked it because of its setting in the forests and mountains of the Pacific Northwest, the descriptions didn't paint a clear picture for me but still I enjoyed that part. Most inexplicable was the character of the "monster" and its sudden willingness to be exposed to the dangers of humanity.

This book starts out pretty good, gets a little silly but maintains enough of an edge to keep you listening.

As a person who loves to believe some things just can't be explained, this book was right on time. This book filled a void in all of us that get a thrill out of the unknown. Hansen brings something totally unbelievable into the realm of reality. A great book that keeps the reader involved from the beginning. You don't really have time to be bored with this tale as Hansen keeps the characters moving throughout. A blended story with a great climax. Keep em coming H.

By: Brian (Fair Oaks, CA, USA)

I desperately wanted to like this book. As I was growning up, my brother and I used to keep each other up at night with scary Bigfoot stories. I was hoping for some of that childhood fright and nostalgia. Instead this book was a big fat dud. The narrative from Bigfoot's perspective killed all suspense and/or terror that might have developed.

It was like listening to a cheap horror movie, not bad but would have been better for me without the grahic sex scenes. No big surprises but it is an easy listen while you do other things.
