Beast of the north woods / by Ryan, Annelise,author.(CARDINAL)352460;
"When a local fisherman is mauled to death, it seems like the only possible cause is a mythical creature in the latest puzzling entry in this USA Today bestselling series. An ice fisherman is savagely mauled to death in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, and an eyewitness claims the man was attacked by a Hodag. There's just one problem with that: it's well-known that the creature is not real and was created by a local hoaxer. So how could an imaginary creature be chomping on local sportsmen? The suggestion that a Hodag killed someone isn't well received by the residents because of its beloved ties to the town and the money it generates from tourist dollars. Due to this, people begin to suspect the witness is the real killer, especially when it's discovered he has a tangled past with the victim. The witness to the attack happens to be the nephew of Morgan Carter's bookstore employee, Rita Bosworth, who convinces the professional cryptozoologist to travel to Wisconsin to prove that a Hodag not only exists but killed the victim. Clues may be hard to come by, but one thing's for sure: something killed that man, and that something now has its eyes focused on Morgan"--

Real life and other fictions : a novel / by Coll, Susan,author.(CARDINAL)704133;
"Cassie Klein has always used stories to help her fly, but now her plot points aren't lining up. By her 50s Cassie has already weathered more than most. She was orphaned at the age of two and has never understood why her parents were on a bridge in West Virginia that happened to collapse as they drove across. Her search for answers prompted a failed career in journalism, and now she's an aspiring novelist waiting for her literary dreams to come true while teaching at a local community college. She stood by her once-doting husband when his meteorology career took a nosedive and just learned that the man who became an Internet meme has been cheating on her. Fed up, she embarks on a road trip that's heavy on impulse and light on planning. She might not know where she's headed, but she does know she might as well start at the beginning. What really happened to her parents all those years ago?" --"Susan Coll uses her experience as both an author and bookstore employee to deliver a big-hearted and dramatic comedy about myths, real life, and the overlap between them"--

Mermedusa / by Taylor, Thomas,1973-author.(CARDINAL)353252; Booth, Tom,1983-illustrator.(CARDINAL)340543;
"It's Midwinter again in Eerie-on-Sea, when legend claims the terrifying Malamander emerges to hunt--and search for its long-lost mate. It's the anniversary of daring Violet Parma's arrival in Eerie; a year later, she still hasn't found her missing parents, just as anxious Herbert Lemon has learned little else about why he washed up on the shore in a crate of lemons. What's more, the creators of the Anomalous Phenomena podcast have dropped anchor in town and are fishing around for Eerie secrets. Keeping ahead of the podcasters, Herbie and Violet set sail for the dangerous "Treasure Island," where villain Sebastian Eel's own sister mysteriously vanished years ago. Will they discover the heart of Eerie-on-Sea's mysteries, or will Herbie and Violet be the next to disappear? Like a visit to an old boardwalk arcade, this conclusion to the spooky, fantastical series will leave readers shivering with fright and delight. In this fifth and final tale, the arrival of a team of cryptozoologists sets off a series of events that could reveal the deepest secrets of Eerie-on-Sea--and the truth about shipwrecked orphan Herbert Lemon." --Ages 8-12.Grades 3-7.

The ghost lab : how bigfoot hunters, mediums, and alien enthusiasts are wrecking science / by Hongoltz-Hetling, Matthew,author.(CARDINAL)839536;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-323) and index."In 2010, in a small New Hampshire town, next door to a copy center and framing shop, a ghost lab opened. The Kitt Research Initiative's mission was to use the scientific method to document the existence of spirits. Founder Andy Kitt was known as a straight-shooter; and was unafraid - perhaps eager - to offend other paranormal investigators by exposing the fraudulence of their less advanced techniques. But when KRI started to lose money, Kitt began to seek funding from the paranormal community, attracting flocks of psychics, alien abductees, witches, mediums, ghost hunters, UFOlogists, cryptozoologists and warlocks from all over New England, and the world. And there were plenty of them around. The Ghost Lab tells the astonishing story of the wild ecosystem of paranormal profiteers and consumers, through the astonishing story of what happened in this one small town. But it also maps the trends of declining scientific literacy, trust in institutions, and the diffusion of a culture that has created space for armies of pseudoscientists to step into the minds of an increasingly credulous public. With his distinct voice, eye for a story and ability to show how one community's experience reflects that of a society, Matt Hongoltz-Hetling crafts a powerful narrative about just how fragmented our understanding of what is real and what is not has become." --
