Devolution

 

Devolution: A Firsthand  Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre by Max Brooks.

Cataloged as adult fiction, but I think it's more sci-fi. Published in 2020.

This book answers the question of what would happen if Mount Rainier erupted and displaced a group of Sasquatches.  What would you do if a tribe of Sasquatches were forced by volcanic eruption out of hiding? What if you were trapped in a very small and isolated village of people who don't want to believe they are being systematically and intelligently hunted by the Sasquatches? 

 

This tale is told through the eyes of the investigators who come upon the deserted community of Greenloop, and the discovered journals of a woman named Kate.  As they explore the decimated tiny town and read through the journals, a horrifying story emerges.  The evidence suggests that this community was wiped out in extremely bloody fashion by a previously unknown apex predator.

Kate's narrative is one of savagery and death, but also of resilience in the face of unexpected and terrifying circumstances. 

I listened to the audiobook version, and it was amazing.
