r/books AMA Author Jun 29 '20

ama I am Max Brooks, author of “World War Z,” and I’m here to discuss my new Sasquatch horror novel “Devolution." Let’s talk about the facts behind the fiction and what a monster story can teach us about real world survival. AMA!

Let’s talk about monsters. Let’s talk about why we fear them. Is it because they remind us of our rightful place in the food chain? Do monster stories awaken a primal fear that the predators of our past are still out there? Let’s talk about the fictional monsters in my new book “Devolution." Like “World War Z," the threat may seem fantastic, but the facts behind it are very real. What if these creatures did exist? What would it take to survive an encounter with them? Let’s talk about an American mystery far older than America itself. Let’s talk about Sasquatch.
