Introduction

Eric S. Brown

The original Bigfoot War book came out in May of 2010. After years of writing zombies, I desperately needed to take a break from the hungry dead, and Bigfoot War was my way of doing that.

Growing up in the rural south, I had always been terrified of Sasquatch and channeled that into the pages of Bigfoot War. It was much more than just another killer Sasquatch book, not that there were many around at that time. Bigfoot War was a brand new take on the Apocalypse, blending the formula of zombie fiction with the Sasquatch mythos.

As a fan, I had been sick of books and movies that only had one or two killer Sasquatch in them and wanted something that took Bigfoot Horror to a whole new level. Bigfoot War did that. It succeeded far beyond anything I could have ever imagined at the time. It became the best received book, in terms of reviews, ever published by Coscom Entertainment, and went from being a book I had written mainly for myself to being my flagship title. Forget being the king of zombies in the small press as some places had come to call me, I was now the Bigfoot Apocalypse guy.

Before I knew it, I was writing Bigfoot War II: Dead in the Woods and then Bigfoot War: Food Chain. That initial trilogy is the core of everything Bigfoot War. They tell the story from beginning to end (sort of) on their own. The response was crazy and overwhelming as I had not only the fans of the series demanding more but also the series publisher.

By the time I wrote Bigfoot War IV: Legion, my career had changed greatly. I was in a place as a writer where I wasnt afraid to take chances with my fiction anymore. In fact, I thrived on trying to top myself with how insane the next book was going to be.

Bigfoot War IV served as a prequel to the original trilogy that not only explained where the zombie virus that struck in book II had come from but crossed over with several of my other books like The A Pack of Wolves trilogy, How the West Went to Hell, and even World War of the Dead. Bigfoot War IV had Bigfoot hordes, zombie Sasquatch, demons, werewolves, and even a telepathic time traveler (named after my real life son).

At that point, I was ready to move on, thinking I had done all I could do with the Bigfoot War series but there was no hope for that. The demand was still insane for more of the Bigfoot War universe and I couldnt let my readers down, could I?

Bigfoot War V: Planet Sasquatch re -launched the series in an entirely new time period in the far flung future, after mankind had recovered from the Bigfoot Apocalypse and humanity had spread outward into the stars. Planet Sasquatch was a very fun book for me to write as it blended my personal favorite genre, Military SF, with Bigfoot Horror. It too was a hit in the small press world of publishing, and Planet Sasquatch: Retaliation was released not long thereafter.
