Book Description
A tale of Wabanaki folklore emerges from deep in the bayous of Louisiana... Twins Maritime and John Stephens, along with their significant others, are afforded the opportunity to take the trip of a lifetime after their college graduation. But the excitement quickly dissipates and the trip turns on a dime, after the foursome inadvertently delve into some local black magic. Their once-perfect lives turn horrific as they learn that it's never wise to mess with the Devil. As they fight to get their lives back, they learn that forgiveness is not easily earned; nor is it guaranteed. Inspired by the tale of the Skudakumooch Ghost Witch of the Wabanaki tribes. Filled with edge-of-your-seat horror, McAleer's nothing-held-back writing style, along with a few surprises; Skadegamutc will sit with you well after you've read the last page. Just as he did in his debut novel, The Churel, M.J. McAleer fuses an old wives' tale--this time originating in Northern Maine and Nova Scotia--and retells it in what is arguably one of the most historically haunted cities in the world: New Orleans.

The Micmac Indians of Eastern Canada
Author: Wilson D. Wallis
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 081666014X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
The Micmac Indians of Eastern Canada was first published in 1955. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The culture of an Indian tribe over a period of 300 years is described in this comprehensive ethnographic study by a husband and wife anthropologist team. The earliest accounts of the Micmac Indians were written by seventeenth-century French explorers and missionaries. These give historical perspective to the work done by the Wallises, whose research is based on field trips that bridged a 40-years span. Dr. Wallis first observed the Micmac tribes in 1911–12. He and Mrs. Wallis revisited them in 1950 and 1953, assessing the changes in material cultural and in orientation, drives, and motivations. In addition, they have preserved a rich collection of Micmac folktales and traditions, published as a separate section of the book.

The Winterfox Journals Book One
Author: Brian P. Easton
Publisher: Permuted Press
ISBN: 1682618501
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Among the Northern Cheyenne of the Great Plains lives a boy named Winterfox, whose family has fought monsters since the days of the Spanish conquistadors. In the aftermath of Westward Expansion, he has become the sole heir to their blood feud against the Beast. Winterfox comes of age in the long shadows of the American frontier, a time when magic has not yet passed into myth. It is a place where the mundane and fantastic still walk side-by-side, and the warrior society of the Rédo’osnin Dog Men will be remembered a little while longer. Hidden away for almost a hundred years, the story behind the legend can finally be revealed. Told from his own journals, this first installment in the life of Michael Winterfox follows the early years of a fierce youth from an outlawed culture; a youth who will ultimately become the venerable hermit and mentor in the original Autobiography of a Werewolf Hunter trilogy.

Mysterious Creatures [2 volumes]
Author: George M. Eberhart
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1576077640
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 772
Book Description
A comprehensive guide to cryptozoology—the quest to identify animals that have not been officially catalogued by science and to place these unknown animals into their proper zoological categories. In this fascinating two-volume encyclopedia, author George M. Eberhart provides a comprehensive catalog of nearly 1,000 cryptids—unknown animals usually reported through eyewitness accounts and not yet described by science. Cryptids are the stuff of folklore, hoaxes, and genuine scientific breakthroughs. There are 400 now-classified cryptids once considered either extinct or pure fantasy. The cryptozoologist's job is to strip away the myth, misidentification, and mystery—and separate fact from fiction. Mysterious Creatures covers everything from dinosaurs and the emala-ntouka, an elephant-killing dinosaur-like animal of central Africa, to searches for the Loch Ness monster, Bigfoot, and other cryptozoological hoaxes. Entries about specific animals include the derivation or meaning of each cryptid's name, its scientific name, variant names, a physical description, behavior, description of tracks, habitat, significant sightings, present status, and possible explanations. Illustrations and photographs accompany many entries. The book also includes resources and references for further information.
