THREE MEN SEEKING MONSTERS:
SIX WEEKS IN PURSUIT OF WEREWOLVES, LAKE MONSTERS, GIANT CATS,
GHOSTLY DEVIL DOGS, AND APE-MEN
BY NICK REDFERN
A real-life Harry Potter for grownups or a “Mothman
Prophecies” for Generation Next |

In the summer of 2001, best-selling British ufologist Nick
Redfern decided to move to the United States. But two of his
friends, monster-hunters Jonathan Downes and Richard Freeman,
weren’t going to let him go without a farewell adventure. That
summer they took him on the ultimate send-off: a six-week-long
rampage through Britain’s remotest places in hot pursuit of --
what else? -- monsters. Fueled by their thirst for the
strange, the intrepid trio journeyed from the heart of the
country’s most ancient forests to the shores of
monster-hunting central, Loch Ness. THREE MEN SEEKING
MONSTERS captures it all, vividly recreating a
kaleidoscope of the surprising, the surreal, and the just
plain weird. Our threesome probes the secrets of a creepy old
mansion; encounters witches and government agents; and meets
plenty of people who have seen devil dogs, sea serpents, and
man-beasts. Ultimately, they learn that only by abandoning
their objective quest in favor of active participation can
they summon their quarry. Whether seeking a glimpse into the
bizarre reaches of reality, or just looking for a good time,
THREE MEN SEEKING MONSTERS is a uniquely gonzo trek
with a trio of adventurers who pushed themselves to the edge
-- and went right over it.
“Picture three British ‘blokes’ -- a bald-headed punker (the
author), a Goth herpetologist who dresses like a pirate, and a
six-foot-six-inch, 400-pound behemoth who wears a Sherlock
Holmes cap -- in a recreational vehicle and six weeks off to
investigate monsters, and you have grasped the essence of this
one. Despite an insatiable thirst that leads them to many pubs
along the way, Redfern and his companions manage to get within
chasing distance of two or three ... folkloric critters. Their
explanation for what takes place is almost as bizarre as the
beasts themselves, but this is a lively and entertaining
crypto-zoological road trip.” -- Booklist
“Redfern and two paranormally inclined pals… take the reader
for a rollicking, often alcohol-infused ride in a camper …
‘chasing monsters around the British countryside.’ … At the
end of their quest, Redfern and his colleagues weren’t
disappointed--nor will like-minded readers be after finishing
this cheerful excursion into the occult fringe.” --
