Since the 1990s, people have invented stories about how they spotted the tabloid hero, Bat Boy. On our Facebook page, tell us about the time you met the fictional monster for a chance to win a free copy of Going Mutant: The Bat Boy Exposed.
Scribner will give three lucky GalleyCat readers a copy of that new book from the editors of Weekly World News; a collection about the exploits of Bat Boy (pictured, click to enlarge) since 1992. Simply post about the time you met Bat Boy at this Facebook link. We will randomly select the winners from among the Facebook submissions. The complete guidelines are listed below.
Here’s more about the book: “The Weekly World News team uncovers the definitive and faux-tastic story of Bat Boy, from his hardscrabble origins in the caves of West Virginia to his global influence in the twenty-first century … This is an intimate look at the half-bat/half-boy, who has until now been shrouded in mystery (despite countless sightings and a megahit musical).”
