"West Virginia, 1966. For thirteen months the town of Point Pleasant is gripped by a real-life nightmare culminating in a tragedy that makes headlines around the world. Strange occurrences and sightings, including a bizarre winged apparition that becomes known as the Mothman, trouble this ordinary American community. Mysterious lights are seen moving across the sky. Domestic animals are found slaughtered and mutilated. And journalist John Keel, arriving to investigate the freakish events, soon finds himself an integral part of an eerie and unfathomable mystery. Translated into over thirteen languages, John Keel's unsettling true story of the paranormal has long been regarded as a classic in the literature of the unexplained."--
Grabbed this on a whim at the library because it was small and easy to tote around. Don't remember the film very well, but the book seemed quite different - and thought-provoking. Would be nice to finish it someday as I only got halfway through before wondering if there was actually a plot. From others' reviews, it sounds like things are left to mystery. I have enjoyed blaming things on "the mothman" as a joke, though!
