Kultus Week, Day 5: Bigfoot in addition to Trolls

A dissimilar rendering of the Kultus Bigfoot

Earlier this calendar month novelist Kirk Sigurdson released his much-anticipated new close Bigfoot. Like whatever neat novel, it's themes rank what the mass is "about". There is no doubtfulness if you lot are fascinated yesteryear Bigfoot together with desire to read something yesteryear mortal who knows a affair or 2 close the Sasquatch phenomenon, Kultus volition hold upward a mass you lot volition recommend to a friend.

I experience similar a lot of Bigfoot fiction (movies too) autumn brusk because they are usually ONLY about Bigfoot. Too many nods to established Bigfoot canon; Bluff Creek, Ape Canyon, P/G Film. I empathise at that spot should hold upward some homage to these pillars of bigfootery, but what close something that stretches us a little?

 This brings us to Kultus. And the Bigfoot troll.

Head item of Kultus Bigfoot Troll

In the Bigfoot community nosotros conduct keep the fortune of Native American oral traditions, these conduct keep shaped our curiosity together with fifty-fifty our research. What if at that spot is an additional agency to depict Bigfoot, based on other traditions? How far conduct keep nosotros dug? Are at that spot European or Standard Arabic Bigfoot legends nosotros conduct keep ignored?

While the Bigfoot inwards Kultus is traditional, inwards the feel that it does non conflict amongst most behaviors nosotros conduct keep heard together with read about, it is an inspiration to broaden our agreement of the Sasquatch phenomena. 

At KultusBook.com, the companion spider web log to the Kutus novel, you tin read a two-part serial on Trolls together with Bigfoot. We conduct keep a pocket-size blurb for work i together with work 2 below. 

The Troll Mythos, Part I

Was Beowulf essentially a tale of the starting fourth dimension "bigfooter?" Perhaps. Most literary critics, college professors, together with armchair anthropologists today conduct keep no consider that readers of Beowulf (or listeners to the oral tradition) were terrified of existent life bog beasts, merely equally Native Americans were terrified of Bigfoot.  And at that spot is a really practiced argue for this parallel.

The Troll Mythos, Part II

To ancient Europeans, these creatures were known equally "trolls."  As centuries passed, the legends became myths together with these myths together with thence devolved into giddy caricatures of themselves. This vogue genuinely parallels modern science's reluctance to analyze a species of relict hominid that has been around far longer than the dependent of science, together with maybe fifty-fifty human homo sapiens. The irony of such a parallel is non lost on me. If the proof is inwards the pudding, together with thence the troll is inwards the machine, thence to speak.
