Reports are pouring in from around the world. A fishing crew claims a giant squid is lurking off the coast of Norway. A huge, snakelike sea serpent was spotted in the Mediterranean Sea.

Carson Quinn, a down-on-his-luck former science teacher spends his days pensively drinking in dive bars until a chance encounter with an old friend sends him on new adventures rekindling a love for cryptozoology and an introduction into the world of craft beer. Will this adventure send him in a new direction or put him out of his misery?

Among the monsters said to roam the world’s jungles and desolate deserts, none is more feared than the chupacabra—-the blood-sucking beast blamed for the mysterious deaths of thousands of animals since the 1990s. To some it is a joke; to many it is a very real threat and even a harbinger of the apocalypse. Originating in Latin America yet known worldwide, the chupacabra is a contradictory and bizarre blend of vampire and shapeshifter, changing its appearance and characteristics depending on when and where it is seen. Rooted in conspiracy theory and anti-American sentiment, the beast is said to be the result of Frankenstein-like secret U.S. government experiments in the Puerto Rican jungles. Combining five years of careful investigation (including information from eyewitness accounts, field research, and forensic analysis) with a close study of the creature’s cultural and folkloric significance, Radford’s book is the first to fully explore and try to solve the decades-old mystery of the chupacabra.

The narrator is a dedicated monster enthusiast, and the reader must help the narrator to decide whether to persue the Loch Ness monster, known as Nessie, or one of the other lake monsters reported in places like Lake Champlain in upstate New York, and the Congo.
