MAPS OF THE UNKNOWN: Deadly Equines

Click to embiggen this very horizontal image

Today's map comes from a more modern source than usual, but it's just as out there as any classic UFO or paranormal entry. This is a map of historically recorded meat-eating and killer horses, from Deadly Equines: The Shocking True Story of Meat-Eating and Murderous Horses, by CuChullaine O'Reilly, FRGS. The author grapples with the oft-forgotten bloody history shared between human and horse, in an intriguing style that's sometimes provocative, sometimes thoughtfully restrained. Not a crank text as it might be judged from its amateur origin, this is well worth reading regardless of your relationship (or lack thereof) with the horse. More info on the book is available at the Long Riders' Guild's website, along with a superior color version of this map.
