The Hollywood Reporter presents a first look at the latest work from writer Max Brooks.
After chronicling the zombie apocalypse in World War Z, author Max Brooks has a new monster in mind: the sasquatch.
The legendary bigfoot is at the heart of Devolution, Brooks' first full-length adult novel following the 2006 release of World War Z, which served as the basis for the Brad Pitt-starring thriller of the same name. Devolution is described as a found-document novel, chronicling a horrific sasquatch attack on an isolated eco-community. It is slated for release in May 2020 from Del Rey Books.
