Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness.

Download or read book The Mound Builder Myth written by Jason Colavito and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say you found that a few dozen people, operating at the highest levels of society, conspired to create a false ancient history of the American continent to promote a religious, white-supremacist agenda in the service of supposedly patriotic ideals. Would you call it fake news? In nineteenth-century America, this was in fact a powerful truth that shaped Manifest Destiny. The Mound Builder Myth is the first book to chronicle the attempt to recast the Native American burial mounds as the work of a lost white race of “true” native Americans. Thomas Jefferson’s pioneering archaeology concluded that the earthen mounds were the work of Native Americans. In the 1894 report of the Bureau of American Ethnology, Cyrus Thomas concurred, drawing on two decades of research. But in the century in between, the lie took hold, with Presidents Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, and Abraham Lincoln adding their approval and the Mormon Church among those benefiting. Jason Colavito traces this monumental deception from the farthest reaches of the frontier to the halls of Congress, mapping a century-long conspiracy to fabricate and promote a false ancient history—and enumerating its devastating consequences for contemporary Native people. Built upon primary sources and first-person accounts, the story that The Mound Builder Myth tells is a forgotten chapter of American history—but one that reads like the Da Vinci Code as it plays out at the upper reaches of government, religion, and science. And as far-fetched as it now might seem that a lost white race once ruled prehistoric America, the damage done by this “ancient” myth has clear echoes in today’s arguments over white nationalism, multiculturalism, “alternative facts,” and the role of science and the control of knowledge in public life.

Download or read book Skinwalkers Shapeshifters and Native American Curses written by Gary Swanson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The almost unknown world of the murderous Skinwalker has never been so fully exposed before this book. The terrible ability of this creature to morph between man and animal with its shapeshifting ability creates an evil and dangerous entity that defies all reason! Being that it still lives among our Native American population after centuries of relatively few documented incidents attests to the frightening power it possesses. The fear of unleashing its shockingly destructive powers has kept even those knowledgeable spiritual leaders afraid to challenge or unleash its evils except under extreme provocation! This interpretation of a creature so devastating that the mere mention of its name causes undue stress and anxiety among our Native Peoples, and evoking its terrible powers only happens when greed and the utmost wicked purposes outweigh all moral and common decency. The fact that this evil even exists was previously unknown to the publishers until their research of the Sasquatch happened to have crossed the line from the study of a reclusive creature that simply desires to coexist with man to the Skinwalker malevolency that seems to be desirous of the dominance of man and the destruction of his very soul if one should be so unfortunate as to run afoul of its evil! We sincerely thank our many contributors who under promise of anonymity have shared with us their knowledge of the Skinwalker and shapeshifter. At long last the secrets of these shadowy beings are revealed and the dark curtain of secrecy has been lifted by those brave individuals who have dared to bring these monsters into the light! The editors have gone to extreme measures to protect the identity of the contributors. The accompanying stories and events regarding our Native American Peoples are the true stories of those unfortunate victims, who in their ignorance have removed items from Native American burial sites. The spirits, who appear to be guardians of the graves of the departed, can and do suffer horrible consequences upon those who have stolen items or caused damage or destruction to the sacred resting places of these first Americans. These reports are by survivors, some of whom who have been able to seek a reversal of the curses or by surviving relatives of those who received the revenge of the spirits. The frighteningly true results and the severe penalties exacted upon those who have desecrated, or even slightly disturbed, the resting places of the Native Americans are revealed as a cautionary explanation that has never been fully clarified to the tourist who carelessly stumbles upon such sacred sites.
