From New Texture. Non-Fiction. ISBN 978-0982723913. Now Available.
For three decades, when American men had questions about the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and other weird beasts from the strange world of cryptozoology, they found answers in the hard-hitting pages of men’s adventure magazines.

The Bigfoot Filmography: Fictional and Documentary Appearances in Film and Television
From McFarland Publications. Non-Fiction. ISBN 978-0-7864-4828-9. Still Available.
Complete with 100s of rare photos, many never-before published, and interviews with key Bigfoot genre filmmakers, The Bigfoot Filmography: Fictional and Documentary Appearances in Film and Television is a first of its kind reference guide and genre-defining critique of “Cine du Sasquatch” — a newly-proposed genre of horror filmmaking.
But as the overview of every-known Bigfoot film & t.v. appearance makes readily apparent, Cine du Sasquatch is actually as old as the narrative film itself. Citing the earliest examples of
Actor ‘Tiny’ Ron patiently awaits the daily make-up ordeal in order to become the titular star of SASQUATCH MOUNTAIN.
Yeti movies by pioneering filmmakers such as George Méliès and Willis O’Brien, and then moving forward through film history to denote key moments in the genre’s progression, The Bigfoot Filmography meticulously documents how the Cine du Sasquatch genre has always been lurking, just out of classification in film critique annals and as misunderstood as the cryptozoological namesake which inspires the films.
With a forward by noted cryptozoologist, author, and museum curator Loren Coleman (no relation), The Bigfoot Filmography also includes a complete listing and critique of every known Bigfoot, Yeti, and Sasquatch movie and t.v. appearance, cameo, or significant mention, complete with cast and crew credits, running times, and other resourceful information about each listing.
“Excellent and entertaining… great for a quick dip or a page-by-page read.” ~ Skeptical Inquirer “The best book of 2012.” ~ Shadowland Magazine “The ultimate Bigfoot Bible.” ~ Rue Morgue “A must for 1970s nostalgia fans.” ~ Video Watchdog “Two thumbs up.” ~ Fortean Times
