A small child somehow survived her fall from the heavens into a remote mountainous area of a dense rain-forest in North America. Fate did not cause the fall, but it did pick the place of her survival. It was here in this region of giant cedars and moss-covered valleys that an odd couple would find and raise her to adult-hood. One was an old man that had lost the love of his life and a will to live. The other was a curious Bigfoot named, Gary.

A Bigfoot Bestiary and Other Wonders is a compendium of natural and unnatural astonishment, anatomizing all those big, hairy monsters that haunt the human condition. Follow their footprints through these pages, and Martin Achatz may just make you a believer in the greatest mystery of all: Love with a capital "L". "Martin Achatz knows what it is to be big and hairy and to express the animal inside us. To paraphrase the Zen koan, live as if you were already Bigfoot. If Iowa Poet Laureate Marvin Bell has his Dead Man poems, Michigan's Achatz has rendered poetical the great ape of the Northwoods, and he eloquently and determinedly immerses us in the dream, meanwhile paying homage to Robert Frost, Pablo Neruda, Wallace Stevens, Flannery O'Connor, and all the other wonderful monsters." -Bonnie Jo Campbell, author of The Waters and American Salvage "Martin Achatz reimagines the legendary Bigfoot in his newest book, a funny and moving collection of poems that is playfully serious. Achatz melds cryptozoologic wonder with the heartrending stuff of the everyday world ... a fierce Sasquatch howl that illuminates and reveals the fragile state of our collective humanity." -W. Todd Kaneko, author of This Is How the Bone Sings "Newsflash! Bigfoot has been found! He resides in the mind of Martin Achatz who rides with 'love as big as Kong' this doppelgänger of a beast straight into the mystery that is his own life. And with abundant humor as well-Bigfoot has late fees at the Carnegie Library, goes trick-or-treating, auditions for Picasso to replace the Minotaur." -Dennis Hinrichsen, author of Dominion + Selected Poems Author of The Mysteries of the Rosary and a former U.P. Poet Laureate, Martin Achatz lives in Ishpeming, Michigan with his family. In his spare time, he chases comets and Bigfoot. From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com

To get some much-needed pink, he’ll have to find the missing link… Billy James Hoyt is a down-on-his-luck, red-blooded American man in 1981 rural Oregon. His mullet is perfectly kept, his farmboy muscles worked to perfection from a lifetime of construction work, and his trailer has functional plumbing. But he has no one to share it with until his eccentric best friend, Tony B Loehne, comes up with the perfect poon-hearted plan: find, seduce, and fool around with Bigfoot. Billy is skeptical, until he gets an eyeful–and handful–of the vivacious wild woman for himself. Taken aback by the life-changing experience, but not wanting to disappoint Tony with the truth that sasquatch chose Billy instead of him, our unlikely hero has to search for the key to his wild heart while juggling an expired six-pack of lies that would churn even the most hardened roughneck’s stomach. “A triumphant masterpiece of hopeful nihilism.” – My Boss “I still love you even after reading this, and I don’t know if I like what that says about me.” – My Girlfriend

An accessible, entertaining guide that brings the infamous cryptid to life with legends, culture, and history from across the globe. Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Skunk Ape. He’s everywhere. The most well-known cryptid in American history, Bigfoot is as feared as he is loved. The subject of thousands of stories, this creature has been pegged as a monster terrorizing the woods, a supernatural entity stealthily living among us with an otherworldly agenda, or simply an animal trying to live a life of seclusion. With various theories and beliefs abounding, research and discussion have become a hobby for many, and even an occupation for some. In The Legend of Bigfoot: Leaving His Mark on the World, T. S. Mart and Mel Cabre reveal the myths, personal stories, and pop culture surrounding the legendary icon. Featuring more than 80 images recreating the Bigfoot’s appearance from firsthand accounts and folktales, The Legend of Bigfoot showcases the many faces of the creature. Included are the Boston Bahumagosh, which is said to weigh up to 400 pounds, stand up to 10 feet tall, and terrorize the Boston area; the Honey Island Swamp Monster?also known as the Louisiana Wookie?who roams the Louisiana swamps with yellow or red eyes; and the Wendigo, placed between 7 and 15 feet tall with long, yellow fangs and yellow-tinted skin. Half phantom, half beast, the Wendigo lives in the forest and dates back to the earliest Native American legends. “This book will keep the mystery and fun of Bigfoot alive and leave readers wondering, “Maybe?” —Laura Krantz, host of the Wild Thing podcast

Denver Riggleman is a logical guy—he has to be, as a government data analytics expert. But at the same time, he’s been haunted since childhood by the memory of an inexplicable encounter with—Something—that he and his grandfather met unexpectedly in the woods. Denver’s ongoing curiosity about what it might have been, and his fascination with the fringe element of Bigfoot Believers, leads him on an “official” investigation into the world of Bigfoot’s fervent disciples and their eclectic belief systems. The Mating Habits of Bigfoot takes you deep into a world dedicated to studying a creature whose existence cannot be proved, but that doesn’t stop its devotees from learning its habits, language, and dietary preferences. Wandering haphazardly through the woods, seeing things that aren’t there and hoping for the miracle of provable contact, the Bigfoot crusaders attempt to find their evasive hero-God…while speculating about whether his anatomy is proportionate. Hilarious and thought-provoking, this book will challenge what you think you know about reality.

The Juno Award–winning musician and Pushcart-nominated author offers thirteen “otherworldly tales that speak to deeper human truths” (Time Out New York). The thirteen stories in Chris Tarry’s richly imagined debut, How To Carry Bigfoot Home, lay bare the insurmountable forces that determine who we are and who we become. From an out-of-work dragon-slaying father in “Here Be Dragons” to a family arguing aboard a rocket ship in “Topics in Advanced Rocketry,” the stories use fantastic settings, blazing wit, and imaginative circumstances to explore very human truths. The stories work to reconcile the public self with the private heart. To contemplate the monsters we carry home and lay bare for the ones we love the most. “These stories hilariously and poignantly evoke the way, when it comes to relationships, all men are living under a leaky thatched roof with winter on the way, always believing they’re on the edge of a turnaround, even though failure keeps returning like an old friend back in town.” —Jim Shepard, Story Prize–winning author of The World to Come “The stories in How To Carry Bigfoot Home are fruitfully obsessed with maleness . . . In their gleeful linguistic play and surrealistic vibe, Tarry’s tales remind me of those of George Saunders, but he’s up to his very own wonderful thing in this vivid debut.” —Pamela Erens, author of The Virgins and The Understory “What would happen if some mad scientist were able to fuse the otherworldly exuberance of H.P. Lovecraft with the nuanced pathos of John Cheever? . . . A writer named Chris Tarry.” —Stefan Merrill Block, author of The Story of Forgetting and The Storm at the Door

One of America’s most esteemed natural history writers takes to the hills of the Pacific Northwest in search of Bigfoot—and finds the wildness within ourselves. “A unique book in the bigfoot literature . . . that understands what most lifetime bigfooters eventually come to know: that bigfooting is about the journey more than the destination.” —Cliff Barackman, field researcher and star of Animal Planet’s Finding Bigfoot Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to investigate the legends of Sasquatch, Yale–trained ecologist Dr. Robert Pyle treks into the unprotected wilderness of the Dark Divide near Mount St. Helens, where he discovers both a giant fossil footprint and recent tracks. On the trail of what he thought was legend, he searches out Indians who tell him of an outcast tribe, the Seeahtiks, who had not fully evolved into humans. A handful of open–minded biologists and anthropologists counter the tabloids Pyle studies, while rogue Forest Service employees and loggers swear of a vast conspiracy to deep–six true stories of unknown, upright hominoid apes among us. He attends Sasquatch Daze, where he meets scientists, hunters, and others who have devoted their lives to the search, only to realize that “these guys don't want to find Bigfoot―they want to be Bigfoot!” Where Bigfoot Walks was the inspiration for the 2020 film The Dark Divide, starring David Cross and Debra Messing. Since the book’s original publication, Pyle’s fresh experiences and findings have been added to his original work through an updated chapter. With an evaluation of recent DNA evidence from Bigfoot hair and scat, the study of speech phonemes in the “Sierra Sounds” purported Bigfoot recordings, an examination of the impact of the wildly popular Animal Planet series Bigfoot Hunters, the reemergence of the famous Bob Gimlin into the Bigfoot community, and more, Walking With Bigfoot keeps every Bigfoot enthusiast’s mind wide open to one of the biggest questions in the land and brings Pyle’s work on the “legend” of Bigfoot into the new century.
