Massachusetts mysteries like the Dover Demon and the Bridgewater Triangle have names because Coleman discovered and named them. His years of research gathering the cryptid sightings, physical evidence, and details of these strange creatures and legends have paid off in a big way in Monsters of Massachusetts. --Jeff Belanger, author of Weird MassachusettsBizarre beasts of the Bay State featured in this volume include . . .
