THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK: THE COMMERCIAL!!!

Last spring, to coincide with Mother's Day, I wrote the script for a radio commercial hawking my Wonderland Award-winning collection, THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK. This commercial aired almost every night for several months on Gary Andersen's NIGHT DREAMS TALK RADIO. To experience the full effect of this audio assault on the senses, simply click on the link at the bottom of this post...

And as an added bonus, here's a photograph of my daughter (without whom THE HANDBOOK would not exist) holding aloft a copy of my aforementioned masterpiece. Both of these photos were taken on the momentous occasion of her eighteenth birthday...

 

You can hear me talking about the secret origins of THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK on multiple podcasts and radio shows including Steven Snider's THE FARMMatthew M. K. Hopewell's THE AP STRANGE SHOW, and Seriah Azkath's WHERE DID THE ROAD GO?

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."

 Géza A. G. Reilly, Dead Reckonings
