In 1995, Puerto Rico was seized with mass hysteria over a new menace lurking in the rainforests, gruesomely killing livestock, leaving strange holes in their necks, and draining their bodies of blood. Described by eyewitnesses as a devilish creature three feet tall with spikes along its back and a mouth full of razor-sharp fangs, the strange animal was given the name Chupacabra—Spanish for “goat-sucker.” Join noted monster hunter Nick Redfern and his spirited crew as they traverse the rugged backcountry of Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Texas investigating the continuing legacy of this fearsome beast. Whether he’s interviewing locals, analyzing physical evidence, or sorting out the facts from the legends, Nick’s journey into the realm of the Chupacabra will make you wonder just what’s out there lurking in the night. Praise: “Gonzo-style investigator and author Nick Redfern again plunges into the mysterious thickets that shroud the world’s unknown animals, this time surfacing with an eye-opening look at the much-feared, bloodsucking thing known as the Chupacabra. It’s a breathless road trip . . . no adventurous spirit will want to miss.”—Linda Godfrey, author of American Monsters and Real Wolfmen

The grand proponent of wild, Texas chupacabras, the lover of fantastic, comic book characters, and the advocate of last century's monsters, all in the form of sometimes experimental poetry is at it again and there is no human, super or otherwise, on this tiny, blue Earth that can stop him. Is he a super-speculative genius trapped in what the unassuming think is a common poet? You hear him read live and you might start to wonder what a marvel he really is. Enjoy this very creative and speculative, poetry book that is not just a fast read but a kick in the pants of what poetry can also be like. In Sex, Lies, And Chupacabras, Juan Manuel Perez gives a powerful voice to several shadowy figures, namely one Speedy Gonzales, a love-sick werewolf, and the creature who Juan has championed for so many years, El Chupacabra. Named the Poet Laureate of the most misunderstood cucuy ever, Juan has gathered in this collection four multi-piece works, each varying in tone but they are all in their own way very powerful and fun.

"In a forever changing social climate of a million destructive lies, there is no better time for the TRUTH! Juan Manuel Pérez’s new book, TRUTH IN THE TIME OF CHUPACABRAS, is a well thought out collection of twenty-five previously and individually published poems on the subject that is so central to his cryptid-loving heart. The TRUTH from the lifetime appointed El Chupacabras Poet Laureate lays down the basics as well as the complicated facts about the elusive urban legend common to all the brown-skinned people of the Western hemisphere. Everything you thought you once knew about “el chupacabras” is nothing but alleged, intellectual hear-say. What you are about to read, however, is the POETIC TRUTH! You can bet all your goats on that!."--Amazon.com

This fascinating book uncovers the history behind urban legends and explains how the contemporary iterations of familiar fictional tales provide a window into the modern concerns—and digital advancements—of our society. What do ghost hunting, legend tripping, and legendary monsters have in common with email hoaxes, chain letters, and horror movies? In this follow-up to Libraries Unlimited's Tales, Rumors, and Gossip: Exploring Contemporary Folk Literature in Grades 7–12, author Gail de Vos revisits popular urban legends, and examines the impact of media—online, social, and broadcast—on their current iterations. What Happens Next? Contemporary Urban Legends and Popular Culture traces the evolution of contemporary legends from the tradition of oral storytelling to the sharing of stories on the Internet and TV. The author examines if the popularity of contemporary legends in the media has changed the form, role, and integrity of familiar legends. In addition to revisiting some of the legends highlighted in her first book, de Vos shares new tales in circulation which she sees as a direct result of technological advancements.
