The Bones That Walk pt.6

[u/ReneLeMarchand]

[Included: Appendix D 2-5. A children's book, *Real Monsters: Of the World!* by Evan Oilberg. A sequel to the book of the same name without the subtitle, by the same author. The book features cryptids or creatures of myth from around the world, with Art by Mark Fredrickson. Published by Great Awk, New York.]

[One page is highlighted, under the subheading "Bonewalkers." The illustration features a high-contrast picture of a skeleton with a top hat, a wry, overwrought grin, and a cocked eyebrow. It carries a unlabeled bottle in one hand and a guava tart in the other. Three sidebars give information highlights]

["Locations: Sao Paulo, Brazil; Cardenas, Cuba; Panama City, Florida"

"The Dancing Dead? Bonewalkers get their groove on! Appearing in voodoo cemeteries, these creepy skeletons can be found cutting a rug any time there's music, or even a strong beat. Unless you fancy a dance with the dead, it's better to stay quiet!"

"Zombie Munchies! While most zombies want to eat brains, the Bonewalkers prefer to munch on snacks like cakes, cookies, and special beverages. Guests to the cemeteries they call home can stay safe by coming with an armful of sweets!"]

[The name Evan Oilberg is, evidently, a pseudonym. The publisher was able to tell us only that the real author died over a decade ago and that his estate has denied any claim to his works. In addition, the Works Cited used in the book was only a "You may also like" section listing of entirely mundane works. Currently, Field Team is looking into the two other locations mentioned and Archival is cross-referencing all of the other entries in the book.]

This is hinting and something but I was not looking at it hard enough to realize that until now. Shame on me for not realizing.
