UFO - Flatwoods Monster

A Sci-Fi Horror Novella of Appalachian Folklore and Alien Technology

By: Lester Wolfe

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Damon Cross is a journalist whose cynicism is his armor. When he’s sent to the forgotten woods of West Virginia to write a puff piece on the anniversary of a local legend, he expects to find hucksters and ghost stories. Instead, he finds a town gripped by a seventy-year silence and a terrifying truth buried in the static.

The legend is real. But it's not a creature. It's a machine. Ancient, patient, and impossibly advanced, it has been waiting, listening through the wires of a world that has unknowingly built it a new nervous system. Now, it's waking up.

As Damon peels back layers of conspiracy and forgotten history, he realizes he’s not chasing a story—he’s being chosen by it. The hum is in the air, in the wires, and soon, it will be in everyone. He was sent to debunk a myth, but he may have just become the prophet of a new, silent apocalypse.

The Flatwoods Monster vs Carl Kolchak

Of the many reported UFO encounters the Flatwoods Monster was one incident I had difficulty grasping. That is, until I listened to this audiobook. This tale seemed to me like an old episode of “ Kolchak: the night stalker”. I could see Carl on this odd little news piece about the anniversary of some ufo urban legend, and then he starts to discover so much more. Things get stranger and scarier. Then, this news writer just like Carl Kolchak uncovers a mysterious government conspiracy and a dangerous horrible Monster from Outer Soace!
