Publisher Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z is back with “the Bigfoot thriller you didn’t know you needed in your life, and one of the greatest horror novels I’ve ever read” (Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter and Recursion).
 
As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing—and too earth-shattering in its implications—to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. Kate’s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity’s defiance in the face of a terrible predator’s gaze, and, inevitably, of savagery and death.

Yet it is also far more than that.

Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us—and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity.

Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before.

Slow start, but worth it

Seemed to take a long time for the actual ‘horror’ to begin. A lot of time is spent in the social/emotional anecdotes of the main character who is narrating through journal entries. And reviewers who claim the actress’s voice is annoying proved to be right in my opinion. All that being said… Everything came together eventually to make the slow build-up worth it. And when the action hits, it hits hard. Regarding the main character, she develops as the story progresses, and the actress’s voice actually matches that development sensibly. I’m not sure what to think of the ending. Wasn’t a bad ending. Just… different people will have different opinions on it. All in all, it was a great listen for our road trip, and we really enjoyed it.

Phenomenal

Max Brooks does it again. Devolution is a fantastic listen from start to finish with wonderfully developed characters, an incredible story, and twists and turns you don’t see coming until they’re in your face. To top it all off, he got an incredible cast to perform the fantastic characters he wrote, Judy Greer and Nathan Fillion did an incredible job reading.

Great story, well told

This is not a genre I usually explore, so I review this audible book as an avid mystery fan. This is a great mystery story, artfully told by well-casted actors. Enthralling from beginning to end.
