“Bigfoot is a childhood fear, far preceding zombies,” says Brooks.
“Zombies came in my early adolescence, but Bigfoot was there from my early childhood.
Max Brooks
I was utterlyterrifiedthat there might be these creatures lurking in our wilderness.
And I did not know what the wilderness really meant.
“I mean, I researchedeverything.
I researched how Mount Rainier would really erupt.
And, just FYI, they couldnt.
That is some brutal lethal terrain out there.
I tried to go the factual route.
If there was a giant species of ape living in North America, how would they live?
I went the path of facts and science.”
So, does Brooks believe that Bigfoot actually exists?
“Ill believe it when I see it,” says the writer.
“Im open to it.
Theres no reason why a Bigfoot creature could not exist.
Or when he comes down the path and tries to tear your head off.
“Yes, yes,” says Brooks.
“If Im hiking in the Pacific Northwest and I see one?ThenIll believe it.”
