Ever heard of Those Gobblin Thangs? No? Well, you’re not alone. The name itself sparks curiosity, and John M. Whiddon has a knack for storytelling that’ll keep you hooked until you figure it out.
It all started with a simple, innocent question from his granddaughter, Sloanee. When someone asked where her grandfather was, she confidently replied, “He’s out chasing Those Gobblin Thangs.” And just like that, a book was born—full of humor, wisdom, and a whole lot of Southern charm.
So…What ARE “Those Gobblin Thangs”?
You might think you know, but don’t be so sure. Are they mystical creatures lurking in the woods? Some kind of legendary hunt? Or just an inside joke wrapped in the rich traditions of the South? Whiddon’s storytelling takes you deep into the heart of small-town life, filled with colorful characters, hilarious mishaps, and life lessons hidden in plain sight.
From laugh-out-loud encounters in the great outdoors to reflections on friendship, family, and the quirks of rural living, this book isn’t just about chasing turkeys—it’s about chasing stories, memories, and the moments that make life worth telling.
