In 2001, bestselling British ufologist Nick Redfern decided to move to the US, but his two friends, monster hunters Downes and Freeman, weren't going to let him go without a farewell adventure. That summer they took him on the ultimate send-off: a 6-week rampage through the UK's remotest places in hot pursuit of monsters. Fuelled as much by punk and booze as their thirst for the strange, the intrepid trio set off on a journey that taught them that only by abandoning their objective quest in favour of active participation would they summon their quarry.
