If you're looking for a summer read that blends humor, heart and the elusive North American Wood Ape (commonly known as Bigfoot), then this is the book for you. Filled with a cast dynamic characters and just enough creeping suspense, American Mythology had me laughing and biting my nails in equal measure.

Cromley weaves a beautiful tale of adult male friendship that is deeply refreshing in the context of a destructive "male loneliness epidemic" plaguing our society. Outcasts are embraced here and people are given permission to believe in magic. This has the feel of an instant classic.
