What’s weird around here? That’s a
question Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman have asked themselves for years. And it’s
exactly their offbeat sense of curiosity that led the duo to create the
phenomenal Weird N.J.
and the
successful series that followed. What’s NOT shockingly odd here: every Weird
book has become a bestseller in its region. There's something
deliciously demented about two young men who wander the country in search of the
bizarre, unexplained, or just plain nutty. Having had success, and plenty of
reader response, with their magazine, Weird NJ, in which they documented New
Jersey's less celebrated tourist attractions, they felt compelled to expand
their research to encompass this entire land of Melon Heads, Phantom Clowns,
Foulke Monsters, Prairie Moon Gardens, and Slimy Slim. Chapters are divided into
enticing sections-"Fabled People and Places," "Bizarre Beasts," "Gateways to
Hell," and "Cemetery Safari," among others-and are remarkably detailed, listing
confirmed accounts of the events that have colored the countryside. A more
valuable resource than similar titles such as New Roadside America and America
Bizarro, which touch only briefly on the freaky attractions, Weird U.S. is a
marvelous work of entertainment and the basis for a truly unique vacation. This books are great for legend tripping. You can find all of them on Amazon.com
