This big-hearted novel follows two lifelong friends, Jute and Virgil, the only members of the Basic Bigfoot Society in rural Montana. Each year, they go on an expedition to find the infamous Sasquatch, with little success. But then the country’s foremost Bigfoot expert offers to join them, along with his ambitious documentarian, raising the stakes. Vergil’s college-aged daughter is skeptical of this audience, and in order to protect her dad, joins in on the trip. Once in the mountains, things start to get weird quickly. Whether it’s Bigfoot or not, something spooky is definitely going on. AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY is a humorous and touching look at how we move forward through crises with friends and family. If you’ll forgive the pun, it’s the definition of campy horror, with interspersed diary entries from previous explorers only upping the eerie ante. And it’s also a beautiful ode to the natural world and how we can protect it.
