This book's intent is to share many eyewitness accounts of the Mothman in and around West Virginia. The red-eyed, winged hominid was believed to have terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and the surrounding area from 1966 to 1967. Jeff Wamsley, curator of the world's only Mothman Museum, wrote this book to be an archive of the events that would unfold years after its supposed departure in 1967.

Within the pages are colorful (not literally, as the pages are in black & white) illustrations depicting witnesses' experiences. Gary Gibeaut's drawings give a representation of what might have been an accurate portrayal of certain sightings. Wamsley also includes reproduced articles related to the subject matter originally published by the Point Pleasant Register, the town's local newspaper.

Mothman: Behind the Red Eyes is a must-read for believers and Forteans alike. This compilation of data is worth a read. Hopefully, it will remain a treasure in Cryptozoological lore for years to come, since books like The Mothman Prophecies are able to captivate readers even thirty years after it was first published.

This book really fascinates me because Mothman is my favorite creature. I have read the book several times and maybe I will read it again someday.
