Jeff Taylor was an ordinary boy growing up in the small town of Babble Creek, North Carolina, until one night his life was changed forever when a sasquatch brutally murdered his family. Taylor fled the town, hoping to leave the painful memory behind. Years later, after two tours of duty in the Iraq War, he's back in Babble Creek seeking vengeance. Taylor's lust for the blood of the monster that slew his family sets in motion a series of events that soon has the entire town fighting for its life as a tribe of sasquatches descend from the forests and hills into Babble Creek to declare war upon its citizens. Babble Creek is about to find out Bigfoot is very real and there's more than one of the creatures that want to fill the streets with blood.

Furry Fury

Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

As a kid, I had a thing for all things monsters. Who didn't? My passion for dinosaurs gave way to Nessie, Yetis, Bigfoot, etc. In fact, for awhile I even entertained fantasies of becoming a monster hunter. I was going to be the one to prove all these mythical creatures existed. Well, that didn't last long, but I never lost my interest in these creatures, which is why I just had to read Eric S. Brown's Bigfoot War.

As a kid, Jeff Taylor witnessed something no kid should ever have to go through--the murder of is father and younger brother. The authorities chalked it up to a bear attack, but Jeff knew the truth. Now, all grown up, Jeff is back for revenge on the creature that killed his family.

When Jeff reveals the real reason he's come home, he is greeted with ridicule and disbelief, but the townspeople rapidly come to realize that Jeff speaks the truth. There is a blood-hungry Bigfoot roaming the forests surrounding their town. With the help of Sheriff Becca May and her deputies, they dispatch the killer, but it soon becomes apparent that the one they killed is not alone. According to the town "medical examiner", the markings on this creature label it as either a "holy man" or an outcast, and based on the reaction of the other creatures in the forest, it's a safe bet to say they killed the leader of the Bigfoot community. They are angry, and they want revenge. Are Becca and her team of deputies enough to save the town's residents from an army of furious sasquatch? Can they hold back the army of furred warriors long enough for help to arrive?

I wasn't disappointed with Bigfoot War, but I did have one issue with the book. Reading it, it quickly becomes clear that Brown has a blatant disregard for the reader's emotional attachment to the characters they encounter in the book. Just when you begin to like a character or feel sorry for what they have endured, the character is gone, a victim of the furry fury that is laying waste to the town. It literally becomes a guessing game as to who will see things through to the end. Once you realize that you shouldn't invest any emotional energy in the characters, you can enjoy the ride. . . and what a ride. The book is a fast-paced roller coaster ride of savage fury, blood, and guts (yes, I'm a gore whore) that will have you turning the pages long into the night. The visuals Brown creates are vivid, and it plays like a movie in your mind. In fact, the book reads like a detailed treatment for a movie and does bring to mind the B-movies I so loved growing up, and still love to this day. It screams for a sequel, which I hope Brown is considering. If have a love for gory horror films and like your books fast paced, I can't recommend Bigfoot War enough.

This would be a wicked movie

Jeff, along with his younger brother and his father, set off into the woods to track down whatever tore apart one of their cows. Jeff was the only survivor of the encounter with a creature straight out of myth. Fifteen years later, he returns to Babble Creek to exact his revenge. He didn’t know the isolated little town would pay the price when he succeeds.

I’ve had a fascination with Bigfoot for many years. Read a bunch of books. Watched a bunch of movies. Some funny, some not so funny. I especially like the not so funny ones. and Bigfoot War is definitely not so funny.

When Jeff killed the bigfoot that destroyed his family, it turns out the big fella was part of a tribe and they, in turn, came calling for their own revenge. It was like Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em robots as they laid waste to the town and it’s inhabitants. Body parts were strewn about and the blood ran through the streets as the creatures picked them off one by one.

Eric reminds me another cyptid horror writer that I really enjoy in that he doesn’t hesitate to kill off his characters. I learned early on not to get attached to any of them as the body count is huge. Even knowing this, I couldn’t help but pull for the people of Babble Creek. The odds weren’t good but they banded together to somehow survive until help came.

This book was super fast paced and the action was pretty much nonstop. When I reached for a sip of my iced tea, I discovered the ice cubes had long ago melted and the beverage was warm.

If you like your sasquatch with sharp claws, tremendous strength, big teeth and a bad attitude, Bigfoot Wars would be a great read for ya. It was for me.

Bigfoot War A New Fan

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2013

I should qualify my review with the fact that I am not a horror buff but do occasionally read horror and SF Horror by major authors.

Bigfoot War: A man returns from the Iraq war with the single minded purpose of seeking vengeance against the Sasquatch who murdered his entire family and will stop at nothing until he sees the creature dead at his feet. His actions incite more mayhem and destruction than the small town residents of Babble Creek could ever have imagined.

I would describe Bigfoot War as an irreverent, campy, pulpy, and bloody romp through the backwoods of North Carolina with no apparent ending in sight. Why no ending? Because this is just one of 11 or so books in the series and I wouldn't be surprised if there are more in the works. There is pint-sized character development and no real surprises other than the innovatively horrendous ways people can die at the hands of really badass hairy creatures that have two settings: real angry and really, really angry.

Don't anticipate a moral to this story, don't expect deep seated character angst, and don't look for a silver lining. This ain't your grandmas 'aw they don't mean no harm' bigfoot. This one is bigger than big, cranium crunching, wants-your-innards-for-breakfast bigfoot.

You can expect more thunder thighed Squatchies than your head swiveling can track to scramble out of the woods at about 45 mph and beat the crap out a yah with lots of intestinal (don't ask) action and mayhem.

Now I thought with a description like that my opinion of the novel was going to be a big thumbs down. I was wrong. Despite the fact that I like to view myself as someone who enjoys his novels sprinkled with at least a modicum of literary snootiness, the fact is this book was all in all a hoot to read and more entertaining than I expected.

And you know I probably will see the movie version that has a tentative release date of January 10, 2014. I'm hoping it will be be just as much of a hoot and holler as the book was.

I'm inspired to write a fan fiction spaghetti western called 'Squatchie Fandango'. I've sent off a script treatment to Quentin Tarantino and I'm sure in a parallel universe he will be responding any day now.

ADVENTURE AND MAYHEM

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 8, 2012

I read books by the bunch,always have,always will.Started way back in the 60s,the heyday of sci-fi and monsters. This series takes me back to those golden days.No mommy pron, no teeny sparkle romance,just real down to earth situations and bang on characterizations.Most of the time I get bored with series,if you can't tell your tale in one go then you failed.In the Bigfoot War series, I want the stories to go on, I want to know what happens next and what was happening somewhere else at the same time. Many moons ago my favorite series was The Horseclans books,Eric S brown is one of the few writers I know who I would like to continue that world. Read The Bigfoot War,and see for yourself,it is a fun ride,that starts with a bang and never lets up. Like Mickey says,"Try it you'll like it" Trust me and all of the other fans,it is a fun read, and thats the whole point ,FUN.

There are far to many good authors writing full story's. I personally wont be buying any more of these books I really hope you take the time to write full story's as you are a good writer and i liked the Bigfoot wars but wont be following up and buying the other two. such a shame. good short story's but should be marked as such, save readers from paying to much when there are other excellent writers at the proper price.

Kick ass

I've been lucky enough to read some of Eric's work before now - he's not massive in the UK, but he's getting that way. I've seen him described as the King of Pulp elsewhere, and I'd agree. This isn't literary fiction. It's kick ass pulp fiction. If you're looking for a pretty read, you wouldn't be picking up a book called 'Bigfoot War' anyway!

Great fun, utter mayhem. No spoilers here, but expect a death or two ;)

Well worth a read, and five stars because it does exactly what it says it will, and delivers. The chapters are short, too, and it was really easy to read - I'm a pretty lazy reader!

Fun book, plenty of gore, a great read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2011

Being something of a bigfoot enthusiast, I've read a lot of novels involving bigfoot over the years. My favourite has always been 'Where Legends Roam' by Lee Murphy, but I'm a little biased perhaps since Murphy is a friend of mine.

Eric Brown suggested that I read his 'Bigfoot War' book - I read the couple of reviews and I'll be perfectly honest, I was a little skeptical of them as they all said pretty much the same thing - ie. how wonderful the book was. Not knowing Eric, I wondered whether the author had written the reviews himself.

Undeterred, I bought a copy of Bigfoot Wars for my Kindle and set about reading it. I'm pleased to say that I was pleasantly suprised by it.

The novel reads a little like a screenplay of sorts - it starts with an opening 'attack' sequence before restarting in the present day and introducing the main characters, before taking us on a journey that involves a heck of a lot of blood and guts. If by chance you are a Hollywood producer, you should take a look at this book - it is crying out to be made into a movie.

Eric sets out quite clearly in the forward that this story is not based on the description of bigfoot provided by real witness reports, which tend to describe the creature (if it exists) as a peaceful gentle giant - the bigfoot in Eric's book are violent movie-style bigfoot and Eric makes no apologies for this, nor should he since he has written a terrific book, fully deserving of the five star reviews. It isn't often that I write five star reviews for books - this book sets out to entertain, and that is exactly what it does. I loved it.

If you fancy a quick romp through the bigfoot infested woods, take Eric's hand and he will guide the way. One word of caution though - check every so often that Eric is still attached and that you aren't clutching a severed arm...
