The Blood of the Bigfoot

De: Michael Cole

Narrado por: Adrian M Lopez

After 50 years of hibernation it has awakened. Oak Grave Forest was a place of beauty. A paradise full of gorgeous wildlife. An outdoorsman’s dream. Until now.

A string of disappearances puts the police on high alert. Animals are found mangled and stripped of flesh. People enter the woods and never return. Blood covers the autumn leaves. And the forest is unusually quiet.

With dusk casting its gloomy shade over Oak Grave, Shane Alter leads a band of police officers into the forest in search of the missing persons. What they find, instead, is a carnivorous humanoid. Its eyes are full of hatred, its body full of hunger, and its blood full of murder.

3.25 stars. A short, gory audiobook that has some scary and entertaining moments.

I really like Michael Cole as a writer, but this one is not among his very best books. The narrator is okay. The story is decent. It’s worth a listen, it’s just not as good as some of the other books by the author.

Beware of the Bigfoot

The Blood of the Bigfoot by Michael Cole is a fantastic creature feature. I really liked how unlike a lot of other of Cole’s books that take place over several days. This one takes place during one night reminding me of most horror movies. The plot is very well written with the police go to investigate something and get stalked and hunted by a creature aspect. There was never a dull moment. I enjoyed all of the characters in this story. As for the creature of this story Bigfoot he was terrifying. He showed not just intelligence and strength but pure malice at times. The narrator Adrian M Lopez did a great job telling the story overall. All in all I would recommend The Blood of the Bigfoot to anyone who likes horror or a good creature feature book.

Fun and Terrifying

Starts slow and pay off is worth it. Michael Cole’s monster books are a guilty pleasure.

Great classic creature thriller

Story really reminded me of the old creature horror movies from the 70s and 80s. The narrator does a great job on doing different voices so it's easy to tell who's who.

You can always count on Michael Cole

Very few authors are as reliably good at what they do than Michael Cole. His characters are not layered. His plots are fairly straightforward, though he can through in some unexpected but well-earned twists when you least suspect it. His books are not going to win any major literary prizes. BUT, what Michael Cole does so well is that he takes one sub-genre of horror, creature features, and writes the kind of book that his audience is looking for, without fail. He does not drag his books out. He knows how to maintain a quick pace. He knows how to deliver some gruesome kills, and he knows how to make you care about his characters just enough so that, if something bad happens to them, you can't help but feel a little bummed for them. There was one kill scene in this book that had me shuddering at the thought of it. That's effective horror! If you are looking for an author who writes books that play out like fast-paced and gruesome horror films, Michael Cole is your man.
