Midwestern Strange: Hunting Monsters, Martians, and the Weird in Flyover Country | 
so-soThis book includes strange stories through the Midwest and West Virginia. Some of the strange stories include the Mothman, the Beast of Bray Road, and a runestone. Others that I had not heard of were about a turtle, aliens that had pancakes, spaceships. and other stories. Each subject was well covered with the history and people in the area and their views too. This will be especially interesting if you are from this area or know the area.
so-soThis book was, to paraphrase Val Johnson, so flat that if you got up on a stepladder on Wednesday you could see both Sundays. I expected a book dealing with monsters, and aliens to be at least a little exciting but it LITERALLY put me to sleep multiple times. I found that it dragged on and on. It would make a better podcast than book, in the vein of Wild Things. The material is interesting, but the delivery was just too dry.
