Good Evening My Fellow Book Dragons,
Our Gem tonight does not take us far from my home here in the Appalachian Foothills. A mere two hours as the Dragon flies. It came to me in a wooden box. A bit of long, course hair – reddish brown in color and emitting a horrible stench of putrifaction.
This is Les O’Dell’s “Old Man of the Mountain: The West Virginia Big Foot”. It is unique in that there is very little commentary or speculation, these are simply the unadulterated testimonies of those who have had encounters with the elusive cryptid. They are bone chilling.
Before we get into those, let me introduce you to Mr. O’Dell himself. He is a Bigfoot researcher and founder of West Virginia Cryptids and Strange Encounters. He also has a YouTube channel. And you can follow him on Facebook. He gathered these testimonials from people all over the state of West Virginia.
This book answers lots of questions, and gives food for thought on the entire subject of the Bigfoot myth. And before you shake your head in disdain or roll your eyes in disbelief, read these words with an open mind. The interviews and testimonies are from those who live in the mountain, often they are hunters, housewives and the elderly. They know these mountains, they know the wildlife and they aren’t ignorant nor are they cowards.
No matter where you stand on my Cryptid friends, this is extremely interesting stuff. Be prepared for goosebumps. And remember, these are the people who live in these mountains, they know the difference between a bear and anything else. Get it today. It’s available on Amazon and directly from 35th Star Publishing, which has an extensive collection of books on all subjects West Virginia.
Until next time, I remain, your humble Book Dragon,
Drakon T. Longwitten
Many thanks to #35thStarPublishing for the review copy, my opinions are my own.
Tales From The Book Dragon 
We live in the BlueRidge foothills. There have been some local events that certainly point to a Bigfoot type creature. One was investigated and evidence found, but nothing was ever said about what was found. I do know the woman whose house the creature kept visiting was freaked out and convinced of what she saw and experienced.

I just wanted to say thanks for this review. I am a believer in Bigfoot and I am going to add this book to my want to read shelf on Goodreads. I visited WVA several times in my childhood as my parents are both from there. It sounds like a great read.
