BELIEVE: Bigfoot in the Rocky Mountains
"In the end, only one question matters: Who will survive — man or beast?"
What begins as a routine elk hunt in the remote Colorado Rockies turns into a nightmare Cory never believed was possible. Pushing above the tree line in a last-day gamble, he stumbles upon something no one is supposed to see. A Bigfoot. In an instant, the hunter becomes the hunted — alone, exhausted, and pursued by a relentless predator through a wilderness that's become a deadly maze. He and his friends always mocked the legends. Now they're forced to confront the truth in the most brutal way imaginable.

I couldn't sleep for days. Mavity doesn't just show you the monster. He makes you understand it.

I had to put this book in another room before I could sleep. The fear stays with you.

I've never believed in ghosts. Until now. Psychological horror at its most disturbing.

Volume One gave me nightmares. Volume Two made me afraid to have nightmares. This writing crawls into your mind.

James Mavity
James Mavity is a horror author who understands that true fear isn't about jump scares — it's about the story that replays in your mind at 3 AM when the house is too quiet. His work spans psychological terror, documented paranormal encounters, and creature horror grounded in research that makes fiction feel uncomfortably real.
His versatility extends beyond horror into comedy, but his passion lives in the dark. Every book is built on extensive research — paranormal investigations, criminal psychology case files, historical deep dives, and first-hand interviews with people who've experienced what shouldn't exist.
"I don't write horror to simply scare you. I write to show you that the line between nightmare and reality is thinner than you think."
