"Impressively Scary Demon" ~Chris Kocher The Binghamton Press

As the battle for natural gas rights in the
Marcellus shale formation rages,a farming family in
the Adirondack foothills is torn apart by the battle
between a cash windfall and threat of ecological
disaster from hydrofracking.
Anti-fracking activists call out to the American
Indian legend of The Demon Messenger out to protect
the forest. The Demon Messenger is the monster in
the woods known by many names: the Rugaru,
Chiye-tanka, Wendigo, but it is best known
throughout the world as Bigfoot. Will the Messenger
be the avenging angel to protect the Promised Land
or an unimaginable evil unleashed?
