chupacabra
9 part serialized novella
|
|
There are those who believe that a creature as small as a young child but as deadly for its size as any on earth has been depicted in the ancient art of the Mayans. There are others who say that it was spawned through genetic engineering or eluded capture when its space ship crashed to earth. The rumors, the sightings and the physical evidence are spreading throughout the Spanish-speaking world. A cultural phenomena only? It was, until the deputy sheriff of an east Texas town investigated the bizarre killing of a prize bull... "Chupacabra" was named one of the 10 best cryptofiction stories of the year, by world-renowned cryptozoologist Loren Coleman. ~ D.L. |
a review of chupacabra
|
If you've had the
privilege of reading "Shadow of the Thunderbird" or " Track of
the Bigfoot" you already know that D. L. Tanner is a great
story teller. You also know that he is a great
researcher. He has a talent unique among all other
cryptozoologists of writing what would be, in and of itself,
an entertaining, riveting, and enjoyable adventure story.
When you combine this with his ability to weave in the things
we know of Cryptids you come away with the most enjoyable
educational experience available in zoology, bar none.
His
new Novella, "Chupacabra," is a stellar example of his talent.
Here we learn more about these mysterious creatures in one
place than is available anywhere else. And what one
learns sticks with you since it is presented in such an
attractive fashion. If the reader is familiar with this
animal, he or she will realize the genius of Mr. Tanner as
they go through the story. If unfamiliar with this
cryptid, the reader will be even more amazed if they will
simply take the trouble to examine the other sources available
on the subject. Such an examination will show them that
in this novella they have already learned just about anything
that has been reported on the Chupacabra. As they go
through the sightings and reports from elsewhere they will be
able to say to themselves over and over, "I learned that
already in D. L. Tanner's Novella."
One
again, Kudos go to this fine author for his depth of research
and for providing us with such a fine read. However, he
deserves the most recognition for his genius in divining a
method of enabling his readers to remember what he is teaching
them by virtue of his engaging presentation.
We can only hope that he continues to work in this field for
many many years to come. Serious students of
cryptozoology everywhere should be aware of this great author
and ought to devour his every word.
