’s legendary Dogman returns in
Nagual: Dawn of the Dogmen by Frank Holes, Jr.
The third book in the series is a masterful blend of
fantasy and folklore, delving into the pre-dawn history of the
mysterious creature and then rushing forward to the present day.
The supernatural beast is seen from two fronts.
The first encounter, part of a 1700s French
fur-trader’s dream, chronicles the cultural clash between the
indigenous, prehistoric civilizations and the Nagual, the
half-man, half-canine skin-walkers, a clash where only one side
can survive. We then
return to the modern day as the Dogman rampages across the
fields and forests, the farms and camps of Grand Traverse and
Benzie
Counties
in northern
Michigan
. The supernatural
beast is hunting for the remnants of its stolen, ancient
treasure that will give it immortality and unlimited power.
Can two young camp counselors put an end to the chaos
without losing their lives?
In the seventh year of the
'70s decade, the Dogman arrived in the
little northern Michigan communities of Interlochen and Lake Ann...
The terrifying, haunting cries in the night had not been heard in that
part of Michigan since the land was once covered by glacial ice...

From
the back cover of Nagual:
Dawn Of The Dogmen:
"Somewhere
in the north woods darkness, a four legged creature suddenly stood
upright..."
Michigan
’s legendary Dogman returns in
Nagual: Dawn of the Dogmen by Frank Holes, Jr.
The third book in the series is a masterful blend of
fantasy and folklore, delving into the pre-dawn history of the
mysterious creature and then rushing forward to the present day.
A wild dream whisks
away a 1700s French fur-trader (who originally released the
supernatural beast) back to the time when the glaciers covered the
Great Lakes
region. This dream
relives the fierce and furious battle for supremacy and the fate
of the human race, as the ancient Nagual, the demonic
skin-walkers, alongside other fantastically monstrous beasts,
threaten to destroy the native civilizations.
The action then picks
up in 1977, ten years before The
Haunting of Sigma and thirty years before the events in Year
of the Dogman. A
pair of star-crossed young lovers finds their budding relationship
horribly interrupted as the Dogman rampages across the fields and
forests, the farms and camps of Grand Traverse and
Benzie
Counties
in northern
Michigan
. The beast, part man
and part canine, is hunting for the remnants of its stolen,
ancient treasure that will give it immortality and unlimited
power. Dreadful
encounters with the local populace highlight this haunting prequel
to the first two Dogman novels, and author Frank Holes, Jr.
delivers yet another thrilling, suspenseful ride into the world of
cryptozoology by establishing the terrifying, historical context
for this local legend.
