Publisher's Summary

This meticulously researched and thrilling exploration of the otherworldly will challenge your idea of reality. Mysterious wolf-people, sentient mists, and UFOs....

If you've ever heard a curious bump in the night, caught a glimpse of a strange-looking someone (or something) out of the corner of your eye, or seen an unusual craft dart across the sky before it vanished without a trace, there's only one person to call: Linda S. Godfrey. An expert in strange creatures and lore, she has offered reporting on bigfoots, werewolves, strange energy forms, and other bizarre beings for years.

Godfrey will enthrall even skeptics as she leads you through the mystical, legendary, and scientific angles of these creatures and the myths that surround them. In this audiobook, you will encounter first-hand testimony of a terrifying transformation from woman to beast (during a church service, no less); the Lost Lizard People of Los Angeles; a growling, phantom-like home invader; wolfmen who walk on two legs; and people stalked by invisible predators.

Delivering a broad mix of modern-day and historical sightings, and supported by Godfrey's interviews with eyewitnesses, Monsters Among Us is a must-listen for anyone hunting for the real accounts behind their childhood campfire stories.

A Catalogue of Thought-provoking Encounters

If not for the subject matter, this book would be pretty dry. It's a compendium of eyewitness reports of (mainly) dogmen and werewolves, but presents other paranormal encounters as well.
Linda S. Godfrey plays her role as a journalist well - conducting interviews and doing cursory investigations to corroborate or justify the contentions [She also engages in some conjecture (these creatures appear through "portals", live underground in cities, are intentional psychic phenomena, are associated with sun-flares, etc.), but she is basically documenting]. Each entry is concluded with a summary of witness characteristics, location, environmental conditions, etc. It could be boring if not for the fantastical nature of the listed occurrences.
Godfrey writes clearly, is obviously interested in her subject matter, and has a methodical thinking process (she presents and discusses alternative explanations for the reports). To her credit, she doesn't dismiss anything out of hand. The accounts are quite obviously nonsense (to me), but incredibly fun to think about.. and having an open mind on even the most ridiculous theories is indispensable to developing critical appraisal skills in my opinion, so Godfrey's approach is appreciated. She makes it easier to suspend disbelief by presenting these cases systematically - in a quasi-scholarly compendium. The book provides pretty much exactly what is promised in the subtitle.

Emily Durante is a "decent" reader at best. She reads clearly and has the appropriate timbre and gravitas for the anecdotes as presented, but the narration is nothing special. Another reader could easily do the same. Additionally, I had to speed the recording to 1.10X to get a palatable pace - Durante reads a little too slow.

In all, a paper (or Kindle) version of this book might be better if you really want a resource for paranormal (especially dogmen) sightings. In this format, this encyclopedic description of encounters is worth 6.5 out of 10 stars. It's distracting, entertaining, and worth a Credit.
