Bigfoot, THE GUARDIAN, and THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK!


From Leyland Cecco's 6-11-26 GUARDIAN article entitled "Sasquatch ‘Sightings’ Reignite Fervour and Scepticism About Ape-like Beast": 

Sceptics argue that Sasquatch believers underestimate just how many of these mammals would have to exist in order to maintain a breeding population that could persist for generations. For a giant primate to survive, there would need to be a population of several hundred individuals, across a large and wild environment. So far, no bones, body or DNA samples have ever been recovered. Footprints have proven frustratingly divisive.

Still, this has done little to dim the hopes of groups such as the Bigfoot Mapping Project, which has catalogued more than 16,600 sightings across North America. The reports are concentrated around some of the continent’s wildest landscapes, but they also include golf courses, suburban ravines and prairie treelines.

For [Josh] Redstone, one of the most overlooked aspects of the Sasquatch phenomenon is how dramatically conceptions of the creature have changed over time. The idea of the giant ape hiding in the wilderness is now so culturally pervasive that many people assume the stories have always existed. But many Indigenous traditions understood it differently.

“When people cite Indigenous stories of Sasquatch, they often ignore that for many communities, these creatures were actually a society of giant people who had clothing and tools but they just lived far away in the wilderness,” he said. “The idea of an ape – a lost primate – is relatively new.”

By the way, in case you're not already aware of this, Bigfoot endorsed my Wonderland Award-winning book, THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK, back in October of 2025! Surprisingly, the Sasquatch people make three separate appearances in my comprehensive guidebook for the recently impregnated. No vital subject (including cryptids) remains overlooked in this useful tome. Yes, a panoply of werewolves, sea serpents, and Bat Boys also pop up from time to time. Even more wondrous manifestations of the strange and the supernatural await you in the hermetic pages of THE EXPECTANT MOTHER DISINFORMATION HANDBOOK! If you want to see why Bigfoot and his kith and kin are so excited about this unique book, order a copy or two for yourself by clicking HERE... or 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."

 Géza A. G. Reilly, Dead Reckonings 
 
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? (Warning: Bigfoot may or may not be mentioned during these particular interviews.)
