HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK!!!


One year ago today, Madness Heart Press unleashed my eleventh book, THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK, which has recently made the final ballot of the Wonderland Book Awards alongside a gaggle of weird and wonderful books such as NYMPHO SHARK FUCK FRENZY by Susan Snyder & Christine Morgan and APESHIP by Carlton Mellick III (if you want to check out the complete final ballot, click HERE). Extra special thanks to John Baltisberger and the whole crew over at Madness Heart Press for helping bring this baby to term!  

Please join me in celebrating this joyous anniversary by purchasing multiple copies of THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK for that special expectant mother/father/grandmother/grandfather/godmother/godfather/aunt/uncle/niece/nephew/priest/general all-around freakazoid in your life in desperate need of positive, life-affirming disinformation. Take this opportunity to support your favorite local/non-local/non-AI-dependent author! Every sale counts, my friends! To order a copy of THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK, visit Amazon by clicking HERE. Of course, if you'd prefer not to prop up a soulless multinational corporation, you can also buy the book directly from Madness Heart Press by clicking HERE! (By the way, if you like Gavriel Quiroga's striking cover art for THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK as much as I do, you should go out of your way to check out his website right HERE.) 

PRAISE FOR THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK:

"Robert Guffey’s The Expectant Mother Disinformation Handbook is weirder than parthenogenesis, weirder than the Republican Party, weirder than the fetishizing of pregnancy that suffuses our culture, weirder than all the back issues of Weird Tales combined. You will laugh, gasp, and scratch your head in pleasurable bemusement. I can’t recommend this tongue-in-cheek tour de force too highly."

—James Morrow, award-winning author of Only Begotten Daughter and Behold the Ape


"Here it is. THE perfect baby-shower/gender reveal party gift. Forget all the binkies, blankies, cute little onesies, and diaper-service subscriptions. Those are so overdone and boring. Want to make a REAL impact? This book. This book right here [...].

"Well-written, lively, engaging, easy to read, and tons of fun. If I were a truly evil imp with plenty of money, I’d sneak copies into every OB/GYN office and ‘Parenting and Family’ bookstore section in the country."

Christine Morgan, award-winning author of Spermjackers from Hell and Lakehouse Infernal 
 

"We've got plenty of people who think that they know best--better even than a given pregnant woman. We don't need more of them, but we could damn well use more examples of them turned into buffoons just like we get to see in the Handbook [...]. [The Expectant Mother Disinformation Handbook] is often weird, often funny, frightfully well written, and it gives us that unique satisfaction that only fiction can provide by putting the bastards into a magic circle of their own disinformation and locking them away. Isn't it sweet to think that they'd stay there."
