Peril and Preternaturalism

The Biological and Phenomenological Investigations of Doctor D. Hobbes, MBS, MMP, PER, Volume II (Doctor Hobbes, Book 2)

By: Rev DiCerto

Narrated by: David Paterson

“Rev DiCerto’s ‘Peril and Preternaturalism’ is an immensely readable, fast-paced, fun read. It’s a marvelous blend of adventure, science fiction, cryptozoology, and Sherlock Holmes. I had a total blast and am looking forward to the further adventures of the extraordinary Doctor Hobbes!”

—John Palisano, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Requiem and Ghost Heart

Is there truth to the rumors about the huge man-apes of the Nepalese Himalayas—and are the fabled yetis truly as gentle and enlightened as the local monks claim? Can the creature that pretty Cousin Olivia and her friends glimpsed in Sherwood Forest actually be a unicorn, as described in biblical texts and the work of Galileo? Can the Germanic myth of kobolds—house spirits—and especially the Klaubautermann, which lives onboard ships, hold any truth? Is it really dangerous for one of them to be seen by its ship’s crew? And what really causes earthquakes in remote Iceland? Is it vulcanism, or something far more fantastical?

Doctor Daniel Hobbes is determined to learn the answers to these mysteries of naturalism and cryptozoology—single-mindedly so. And if a few creatures die as a result of his pursuit of scientific knowledge, or a few people’s lives are ruined, what concern is it of his? Certainly a man of Hobbes’s wisdom and insight cannot be to blame when nature takes its course! Join Doctor Hobbes in this second volume of adventures, spanning from Nepal to Scotland to Nottinghamshire… and finally on to the frozen North.
