The Howling In The Hills
A horror novel about a photo team facing a dangerous Bigfoot in the Canadian Rockies.
Wells bases his story on the premise that modern hunters are ill-prepared for a real encounter with a wild animal. He uses the concept of television teams as a starting point for fiction. The plot centers on Ben Carter and his companions during their expedition. They move through a town under threat from the creature they seek. The narrative asks where Bigfoot hides and what happens upon discovery. Wells treats the subject as an episode that goes wrong rather than a documentary. He focuses on the physical dangers and the unknown nature of the beast. The work is organized as a continuous story of this specific expedition. It does not offer scientific analysis or historical data. It remains a fictional account of a dangerous journey.
The book draws on the cultural phenomenon of reality television shows like Finding Bigfoot and Monster Hunters. Wells responds to the portrayal of these teams as ill-prepared for actual contact. He places his fictional narrative in the context of modern cryptozoology media trends.
