"Eerie Appalachia" by Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz

I wanted to also mention "Eerie Appalachia" by Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz....  I have brought them up before...  and you definitely can't go wrong with their books!

This one covers Appalachia, and gets into the legends you would expect (Mothman, Jersey Devil, Skunk Ape, etc) and a lot of other strange stories are included.  There were a couple from my home state that I was totally unaware of (the Mushroom Mines, for example).  The chapters are thorough, but efficient, and actual research has gone into this book.  They don't go on and on about orbs, or feelings they got in an area.  They talk to locals.  In fact, this feels like a very complete book on cryptids and legends in Appalachia.  The book is around 140 pages, but there are a lot of stories, as the authors are efficient with their words.  There is no fluff and the frequent sketches by Schultz are well done and add to the stories.  You WILL easily recognize the Flatwoods monster, but it is done in Kari's unique style.

I got a signed copy at the recent Frogman Festival, and Kari included a nice little sketch of the Jersey Devil in mine!
