After 20 Years.
WELCOME TRAVELERS OF THE HALLOW WOODS (April 16, 2026)—Twenty years ago today, on the dot, I took it upon myself to manually digitize and independently republish a then little known book of forgotten lore on such an obscure subject matter that even a 400 pg. Reader’s Digest on American Folklore didn’t even make passing mention of it. Flash forward two decades later and William T. Cox's Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods, With a Few Desert and Mountain Beasts is a celebrated genre favorite with fearsome critters now practically being ubiquitous within the study of American Folklore.
Eventually, the little site on Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods became the virtual museum Lumberwoods, expanding its library and adapting to changing times, it has surpassed the average lifespan of a website sevenfold.
Now, if you were to ask me, today, for my opinion on this twenty year experiment that is something which is hard for me to put into words. And, good reader, for anyone who has perused this tome, well, you'd probably realize sorely quick that I am hardly one to be without words.
For the entirety of my mind is drawn to a singular thought, “Did I dream big enough?”
