American Mythology

Every month at St. Pete's Tavern in the rugged town of Basic, Montana, a meeting is convened by the Basic Bigfoot Society's members -- both of them. Jute and Vergil are lifelong friends, bound by an affinity for the elusive North American wood ape. Their monthly meetings and annual expeditions are a tradition that keep their friendship alive when so much else about their small town has fallen away. But things are about to get exciting for the Basic Bigfoot Society. Dr. Marcus Bernard, the country's foremost Bigfoot "expert", approaches them with a proposition that seems almost too good to be true: he and an ambitious documentarian, Vicky Xu, will join their next expedition. Thankfully, Vergil's daughter, Rye, is home from college and decides to tag along in order to make sure her dad and Jute aren't made fools of. Once in the woods, strange things begin to happen to them that seem to defy rational explanation. Is this a hoax? Or are they on the precipice of the greatest anthropological discovery ever? A spooky adventure story and a wry and heartwarming tale of friendship, American Mythology is a fabulous debut about the power of belief and our sacred bond with nature.
