The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town's bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing--and too earth-shattering in its implications--to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate's extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. Kate's is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity's defiance in the face of a terrible predator's gaze, and, inevitably, of savagery and death. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYet it is also far more than that. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBecause if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible.
