A new book has hit the shelves that takes the idea of Bigfoot's existence to a whole new level. The book, Devolution by Max Brooks, is a gripping tale that explores the possibility of Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest and the potential impact on a community. The YouTube channel Fantasy for the Ages recently reviewed this captivating read, and as a fellow Bigfoot enthusiast, I couldn't help but share the excitement. The story revolves around a group of people who decide to build a self-sustaining community in a remote area outside of the Puget Sound. The community, called Greenloop, is designed to be in harmony with nature, featuring six homes and a common lodge, all powered by solar panels and methane from their own waste. However, the community still relies on weekly Amazon deliveries and a fiber optic cable for internet access. The backdrop of this story is the ever-present threat of Mount Rainier, a nearby volcano that could erupt at any moment. The community is built in an area that would be severely impacted by such an event, and when Mount Rainier finally erupts, it cuts off Greenloop from the outside world, leaving them isolated and without any means of communication. What makes this story even more intriguing is the introduction of Bigfoot into the mix. According to the book, rumors have circulated about the existence of Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest, and the eruption of Mount Rainier causes a chain reaction that leads to the appearance of these elusive creatures in Greenloop. The community members, who are not equipped to handle such a threat, must learn to survive in the wilderness while facing an alpha predator. Max Brooks, known for his best-selling book World War Z, has crafted a chilling narrative that combines the real-world threat of a volcanic eruption with the speculative idea of Bigfoot's existence. The book is written in a series of interviews and journal entries, providing an immersive and suspenseful reading experience. I found the concept of this book fascinating. It explores the possibility of Sasquatch in a realistic and thought-provoking way. If you're looking for a thrilling read that combines the beauty of nature with the mystery of Bigfoot, Devolution by Max Brooks is a must-read. To learn more about this book, I encourage you to watch the Fantasy for the Ages video review on YouTube. It provides a great overview of the story and highlights the unique aspects that make Devolution a captivating read. Happy reading, fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts!
