Dogman Chronicles: Michigan’s Enduring Cryptid. Abandoned Nation

A cinematic excavation of myth, memory, and regional haunting, The Dogman Chronicles reclaims Michigan's most elusive cryptid as more than a campfire tale-it's a mirror, a mythic cipher, and a cultural archive. Spanning 138 years of sightings, whispers, and digital-age virality, Dareios Little blends field reports, indigenous shapeshifter lore, and Afrofuturist noir to construct a modular narrative that's as emotionally resonant as it is historically grounded.
From the pine-shadowed roads of Wexford County to the algorithmic echo chambers of TikTok, the Dogman emerges not just as a beast-but as a symbol of isolation, ancestral memory, and the stories we bury in the woods. With immersive prose, archival precision, and movement-grade intent, this volume invites readers to track the Dogman not only through Michigan's forests, but through the cultural psyche of a region still reckoning with its ghosts.
