Sojourn with the Sasquatch: A Memoir of Five Months Spent Living Among the North American Apes - Paperback

by Ryan J. Lyons (Author)

Recurring 16- to 27-inch footprints throughout the Pacific Northwest have led many Americans to believe that reclusive, ape-like creatures called Sasquatch stalk the woods. Few have had more than a brief glimpse of them, and no one has conducted direct, long-term observation of them in their natural habitat.Until now.Walter Spink is near-sighted, socially awkward, and accident prone. He is also a self-styled monster hunter. When he and his meek assistant, Matt Preston, travel to the Pacific Northwest seeking Sasquatch, their chance of finding them appears nil, but unexpectedly the monster hunters find themselves living and traveling with a group of Sasquatch.During their sojourn with the Sasquatch, Walter and Matt learn whether caterpillars taste like chicken and how to annoy a silverback without really trying. Somehow they navigate the social pitfalls of the group, but Walter's growing obsession with protecting the Sasquatch will test his loyalty to his own kind--and to Matt.

Author Biography

Ryan J. Lyons has been fascinated with cryptozoology and all manner of unexplained phenomena for as long as he can remember. He is uniquely qualified to relate the misadventures of Walter Spink by virtue of 39 years' worth of his own misadventures, both social and zoological. He lives in Syracuse, New York with a remarkably tolerant husband, two dogs (including a Yorkshire terrier who is tough enough to daunt the stoutest-hearted Sasquatch), and two cats. Sojourn with the Sasquatch is his first published novel.
