Tracking the Chupacabra

Since Puerto Rico’s most famous monster (you know the one I mean!) has been linked on more than several occasions to the UFO controversy, here’s a book we should all get hold of: Ben Radford’s Tracking the Chupacabra. It’s not published for a couple of months, but I’m betting it’s going to be a solid, good read, and one that may very well alter a lot of people’s perceptions about the beast…
Here’s the Amazon link to the book, and here’s some background info on the title:
“Among the monsters said to roam the world s jungles and desolate deserts, none is more feared than the chupacabra the blood-sucking beast blamed for the mysterious deaths of thousands of animals since the 1990s. To some it is a joke; to many it is a very real threat and even a harbinger of the apocalypse.
“Originating in Latin America yet known worldwide, the chupacabra is a contradictory and bizarre blend of vampire and shapeshifter, changing its appearance and characteristics depending on when and where it is seen. Rooted in conspiracy theory and anti- American sentiment, the beast is said to be the result of Frankenstein-like secret U.S. government experiments in the Puerto Rican jungles.
“Combining five years of careful investigation (including information from eyewitness accounts, field research, and forensic analysis) with a close study of the creature s cultural and folkloric significance, Radford s book is the first to fully explore and try to solve the decades-old mystery of the chupacabra.”
