![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rather than simply collecting and publishing facts and figures about wolves, he focusses on telling their engrossing tales-which he, with his five million words of field notes, is uniquely positioned to do-to the tourists he encounters daily. McIntyre, who is also a writer, grasps the relationship between storytelling and conservation. Seeing a wolf is exceptionally rare, and this book is as close as most readers will come. The sightings were a kind of sustenance for him, and, as the book romps on, they are for the reader, too. Mostly, though, Blakeslee presents O-Six and her evolving, adoring pack-the Motown-sounding “Lamars”-from the empathetic perspective of “the watchers.” These are the civilian non-scientists, like McIntyre, whom Blakeslee describes as “the Michael Jordan of wolf-watching,” an observer so wolf-obsessed that he once went eight hundred and ninety-one days in a row with at least one sighting. (You may have heard of her: she became famous.) Blakeslee draws O-Six in novelistic, sometimes anthropomorphic detail, using the conflicting insight and perspective of biologists, politicians, ranchers, environmentalists, lawyers, other animals, and hunters. An alpha female and hunter nonpareil, her name is O-Six. ![]() McIntyre is the central human character in “ American Wolf,” a new book by the journalist Nate Blakeslee that tells the life story of a single gray wolf living both within and-much more dangerously-just outside Yellowstone. ![]() ![]() The text of this book contains tall American tales about strong women from various backgrounds, which are illustrated by the complete lines of scratchboard illustration. ![]() The United States is packed with stories of smart, powerful, and simply amazing women from the Northeast to the West.

Note: If you’re a fan of the Alien franchise–even the video game Alien: Isolation (2014), the video game Prey (2017), the films Event Horizon (1997), Infini (2015), Pandorum (2009), The Void (2016), Harbinger Down (2015), The Last Days on Mars (2013) and whatnot. Either way, you’re sure to be spooked at some point when reading them. And some of them take place somewhere on Earth instead of space. There’s even a few that don’t have a lot of focus on the horror element, but leans heavily towards sci-fi or another genre like thriller or mystery. I’ve also included a few books that have a similar isolation and creepy atmosphere to them that ‘space horror’ has. If not, the humans might’ve unknowingly, maybe even purposely disturbed something that they shouldn’t have. Nearly all of them is set in deep space on a spaceship, research station, moon, and so on with an unknown entity–be it a deadly extraterrestrial, alien virus and whatnot that the protagonist must face. Most of the books are considered space horror, a subgenres of science fiction. If you enjoyed the survival horror game franchise Dead Space, you might enjoy some of these book recommendations. ![]() |
