This new case presents her with some . . . unexpected problems. I liked the setup for the character and her career, but the case itself felt a little unwieldy. There were too many things going on and in the end they didn’t get connected as well as I would have liked. ...

    Eric S. Brown, according to his bio, has been called "The King of the Zombies;" however, since I had never read any of his work before, I would have to think that he might also now become King of the BigFoot!

    Bigfoot War is not for those who cannot appreciate a great slasher or splatter book or movie. Soooo, you are now warned... ...

    At some point between my agreeing to review this book and its arrival on my doorstep, I slapped my forehead and cried out, "What was I thinking? I hate Lovecraft!"
