Add to basketPaperback. Something crosses a dark road in Wisconsin. For a moment, it stands like a man. Then it is gone - leaving a scratch on a car, a smell of rot, and a witness who will spend the rest of their life unable to say what they saw.They call it the dogman. But the thing at the treeline has a hundred older names.In DOGMAN: Anatomy of a Myth, R.J. Blackwell follows the upright wolf across four centuries and half the world - from the Beast of Gevaudan and the werewolf trials of old Europe to a Serbian graveyard, an English drainage ditch, and the burial mounds of the American Midwest. This is not a monster hunt. It is an investigation into a far stranger question: why the same figure keeps appearing to people who never met, in cultures that never spoke - and how a radio prank, a tabloid headline, or a courtroom can raise a legend on top of a real and unexplained fear.Rigorous, unsettling, and refusing every easy answer, Blackwell separates what was documented from what was only ever told, and arrives at the one honest conclusion left standing: I do not know what it is. But I have stopped being able to say that it is nothing.A serious, global reckoning with the myth that will not stay dead - for readers of Linda Godfrey who want the history beneath the headlights. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
