Monster Spotter's Guide to North America [Sat. Oct. 20]

This Saturday (Oct. 20), City Lights Bookstore will be hosting one of the foremost "monster spotters" in the country.

Meet Scott Francis, author of Monster Spotter's Guide to North America, a book in field-guide format with information on more than 100 legendary American monsters. Written for adults in a campy yet informative format, the subjects range from Bigfoot to western North Carolina's Wampus Cat. For those considering a monster hunt, details are included as to where and when the monsters are reported to have been seen, their preferred habitats, appearance and feeding habits.

Francis' program begins at 7:30 p.m. at City Lights Bookstore, on Spring Street in downtown Sylva.
