ISBN 9781625859853

Most know Florida as the land of endless sunny beaches, but the state is home to numerous eerie legends and mysterious creatures. The Everglades is home to the elusive Skunk Ape, a strange bipedal creature recognized by its odor. An uncanny doll reputed to have a life of its own greets visitors in a Florida Keys museum. An ancient monster is reported to roam the rivers in the northeast corners of the state, and in South Florida, a man built "America's Stonehenge" via mysterious means. From truly horrific tales like the Dozier School for Boys to the fanciful Gnome of Bok Tower, follow the author and illustrator Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz as they uncover the history behind the state's creepiest stories and unusual locations.
