The Texas Dogman Triangle

by Aaron Deese

Texas is a vast land of history and legend. For centuries the state has been saturated in folklore and mythology, and contains its fair share of ghosts, UFOs, conspiracies and buried treasure. It is also the home of monsters. For over 100 years Texas has played host to encounters with upright walking canines - werewolves, or as they are now often called, Dogmen. In 2021 a pattern seemed to emerge, giving rise to what some now call the Texas Dogman Triangle. Are these creatures real, or imaginative hysteria? Urban legend, or unidentified animal? Biological anomalies or spectral horrors beyond our comprehension? That depends on who you ask. Welcome to the Lone Star State. Welcome to the Texas Dogman Triangle.

As someone who enjoys the paranormal, while considering themselves a fairly skeptic believer, let me just say that for all their good intentions, a lot of paranormal books suck.

They are either poorly written by the author, poorly researched and too willing to believe any story they’re told, or simple regurgitations of stories emailed to them by their listeners.

There are surely exceptions to the rule, with Lyle Blackburn, Ken Gethard and now Aaron Deese standing out prominently amongst them.

The Texas Dogman Triangle is well researched, it is informative, it is entertaining, but above all else it os well written.

It isn’t a perfect book by any stretch, but it is an awesome one, and an incredibly laudatory freshman debut by Mr. Deese.

Though I ultimately remain unconvinced, if for no other reason than to preserve my ability to sleep at night, by the end of The Texas Dogman Triangle one is hard pressed to disagree with the author’s assessment that “werewolves are real, and they live in Texas”.

I could not pick this book down. I have been fascinated with monsters and the unexplained since I was a kid. I love reading and watching documentaries on them. That being said, I enjoyed this book for a few reasons. First….the author mentions other sources and puts them in high regard. When a work is cited, it usually states that he realizes the contribution really was instrumental in the book. Second, the author discusses other possibilities that may exist besides the cryptid explanation. The last thing I appreciate is that the author does not ridicule those who are skeptical. Excellent book. Looking forward to reading more from Deese.

I enjoyed this. Even if you do not think these creatures are flesh and blood, these stories are interesting because they detail the emergence of a modern urban legend.

Aaron Deese pulls together a great collection of stories addressing the Dogman Phenomena in the state of Texas. Pulling information from historical accounts, witnesses, and other researchers, giving the reader the opportunity to form their own opinions on whether these creatures are real, misidentified other animals, or something more paranormal. After reading the book, you may just come to agree with Deese that werewolves are real, and they live in Texas.
