Chasing Bigfoot

Men at Work

by Lynn Townsend

Scott Seay and Brandon Russo are chasing down legendary creatures, one monster at a time! Scott, a cryptozoologist photographer, is on the trail again, this time following the legends of Sasquatch into the mountains of West Virginia. Brandon, still an unbeliever, has some vacation time coming up and enjoys hiking, so he accompanies his lover, along with a small group of Sasquatchers, in search of the elusive Bigfoot.

On their trek through the mountains, Scott and Brandon hear tales of other close encounters, deal with a pair of snobby lumbersexuals, and find mysterious hairs tangled in the underbrush. When the weather turns foul, and the group has to make it down the mountainside in front of a dangerous storm, will legends come to life? All they know is something is following them down the trail ... something with very bad intentions ...

This felt like it was part of a bigger book. Brandon and Scott supposedly met doing something and moved in together but have never really discussed if they are dating. Scott is a photographer who was hired to go on this bigfoot camping adventure and Brandon goes along as part of their vacation although he's not a believer. You get to meet a few other people on the trip. When the weather turns and they have to head back down, Scott and Brandon are attacked/chased by something and make it back to the camp where there is scepticism and excitement about what happened. That's it. There's just sort of this story of them on a camping trip with the excitement, but it starts in the middle and ends with more to go IMHO. So the chase was pretty dramatic and scary, but it left me feeling kind of lost.

I was not expecting much from this book, part of the Men at Work series. (Offering quick so so reads with the MM that I enjoy). So I was pleasantly surprised with Chasing Bigfoot, the story kept me interested until the end. Lynn Townsend is an author I am going to further investigate.

Cheers

I don’t know why this has such low ratings. I thought it was really good and I’m not someone who five stars everything. I liked the pacing and the way it was set up. It started in the present then flashed back saying “three weeks ago” then “ten days ago” etc., until they got down to this afternoon and then back in real time. The only thing I would have preferred is a little more carnage.

I liked the characters, they were real to me. It was funny how the hipsters were called “lumbersexuals” like “metrosexuals” or something similar.

I liked how when telling a story, a woman got sidetracked and said stuff that wasn’t relevant to the conversation, went off on tangents, and put too much into the pieces that were relevant. That’s the way people generally tell stories.

The ending was kind of funny.

I liked it, the whole idea of looking for Bigfoot and the various characters of the Sasqatchers and then...it just ended! I felt like I was missing a chapter.
