It is, in fact, Lyles trekking through the Lizard Mans territory that gives the book its driving energy creating a page turner that any mystery novelist would be jealous of. Reading Blackburns book, its easy to imagine yourself in the swampy south, wondering what mysteries lurk in the muck...I highly recommend you check out Lyles book for an entertaining journey to discover the story behind the Bishopville Monster." - David Weatherly, Cryptomundo"...an expertly crafted allegory that is informative as well as entertaining. The investigations conducted by the local authorities are chronicled so well that the reader shares in the drama of the encounters. The book provides exceptional documentation for one of the most bizarre cases of an unknown creature." - Lon Strickler, Phantoms & Monsters"An enthralling, chillingly atmospheric, and deeply revealing look at a strange and controversial legend." - Nick Redfern, author of Monster Diary""Lyle Blackburn represents a new breed of monster hunter... edgy, smart and unwilling to leave any stone unturned." - Ken Gerhard, author of Encounters with Flying Humanoids "A very important book . that takes all of the necessary complexities of a small-town monster legend into question." - Micah Hanks, author of Magic, Mysticism and the Molecule"One of the factors that stands out...is [the authors] willingness to not only do the research but to visit the scene of the sightings and give the reader a glimpse into the atmosphere that underlies the sightings he is writing about. It is this atmospheric quality that really makes Mr. Blackburns books stand out...Lizard Man is a fascinating read that will leave the reader with not only a thorough knowledge of the topic but also a real taste of the mystery surrounding the case." - Monsters and Magic Long Description From the swamplands near Bishopville, South Carolina, come reports of a seven-foot-tall, scaly humanoid creature the locals call the "Lizard Man."
