My scoring system
⭐ Don't quit your day job
⭐⭐ It was tough to finish
⭐⭐⭐ A solid read
⭐⭐⭐⭐ That was fun!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I need more. If you don't give it, I'm going to kidnap you Misery-style, without shattering your ankles, of course.
Bigfoot's Curse is not your typical Bigfoot-themed horror book. For one, we're not talking about Bigfoots (or whatever the plural form is), there aren't any. There is only the Bigfoot, which the book tries to explain.
Apart from that, it didn't really read like a Bigfoot horror but more of a King Kong/Kaiju-like spectacle. Which doesn't mean the book is bad, just not what I expected but once I got over that part, I enjoyed it for what it is. There are some interesting characters that for the most part worked out quite well.
Not one of my favorites but that's mainly due to my own taste, still fun for what it was.

Having been imprisoned and tormented, big foot escapes and reeks havoc on all he encounters. Good book that moves at a nice pace, with an interesting mix of characters caught in big foots sights.

Bigfoot’s Curse was another outstanding icky bug. It had a great cast of characters and plenty of action and plot twists. It was short, sweet, and to the point. I loved it! Highly recommended.
