Get ready, Bigfoot enthusiasts! The YouTube channel Obscure Book Adventures has announced an exciting reading event for April that all of us can participate in. The theme? Giant apes! That's right, from King Kong to Bigfoot and the Yeti, this event will cover it all.
As a co-host of this reading event, Obscure Book Adventures will be posting more videos than usual, including shorts, extra-long content, and reviews of books related to the theme. They've already started reading in advance and have some great recommendations lined up.
One of the books they've read is "The Monster Men" by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Although not an obvious choice, they argue that one of the monsters in the book resembles an orangutan, making it count for the event. They'll be reviewing this book in the coming days, so stay tuned.
Another book they've read is "Bigfoot in the Bronx" by Hunter Shea. This lighthearted novel features humor and depth, making it a highly entertaining read. They highly recommend it for those looking for a fun and engaging story.
In addition to these novels, Obscure Book Adventures is also reading non-fiction books related to the theme. One such book is "Kiju Film: A Critical History and Study of Cinema's Biggest Monsters" by Jason Barr. This well-researched book covers big monsters like Godzilla and other creatures from Japanese films.
If you're a fan of short stories, Obscure Book Adventures has you covered. They'll be reading "War of the Giant Apes" by Alexander Blade, published in the April issue of Fantastic Adventures in 1949, as well as other stories from the 1930s and 1960s.
For comic book fans, there are plenty of options featuring giant apes. From the comic adaptation of the film King Kong to the first Conga comic published in the 1960s, there's something for everyone.
Overall, this reading event is a great opportunity for Bigfoot enthusiasts to explore different books and media related to the theme of giant apes. So grab a book and join in on the fun!
