Product Description:
What’s weird around here? That’s a question Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman have enjoyed asking for years—and their offbeat sense of curiosity led them to create the best-selling phenomenon, Weird N.J. But why should they stop at New Jersey when there’s so much that’s strange, odd, and utterly nutty all across the U.S.? So they’ve expanded their universe, taken their act on the road, and found stories of weirdness in every state in the nation. The result is a travel guide of sorts, but to the kind of places voyagers will never find on their everyday maps. Instead, it’s chock full of the local legends, crazy characters, cursed roads, abandoned sites, and bizarre roadside attractions. So come along and visit such unique spots as Midgetville, explore long-empty insane asylums, and go through forgotten tunnels—but keep in mind that the maniacal Bunnyman just might be hiding out in one of them. Some of what’s out there is disturbing, some of it's hilarious, but all of it is unforgettably…weird.

4 out of 5 starsWeird! ^
Indeed, some of the stories in here are weird. Some are interesting, and others are dumb. But overall, this is a very intriguing book and a great read!



5 out of 5 starsI cant wait to buy the whole collection for my husband! ^
Perfect for the traver in the family! My husband LOVED getting this as a gift as he is big on traveling via RV the US over and finding fun things! This book is packed with interesting stories that even the homebody can appreciate by the way!



4 out of 5 starsI love this book! ^
I love this book, and can scroll through it for hours. It is well organized and presented. The book is mostly made up from contributions from readers hailing from every nook and cranny of the U.S.A., even Puerto Rico!

There are some strange stories and people presented herein. Documented true stories of grisly murders, sightings of lights in the sky, and cryptozooilogical beasts.

I only have two complaints concerning this anthology of the odd. First, I wish it had more pictures. Second, I wish it was longer! I've read through it several times now. A lot of people have complained that this is not a "roadmap" to various eccentric sites across our fruited plains... but in these days of the internet... why waste the space in this book? I was able to look up many of the locations that appear in the book. I consider this a non-issue.

I need to get some more of the individual "Weird" books, which focus on individual states. Unfortunatley for me, "Weird Pennsylvania" focuses almost entirely on eastern PA. A lot of people have pointed this out.



5 out of 5 starsDon't leave this book lying around! ^
Totally freaky and as far as I know, 100% true. The book opens with case after case of Satanism, portals to Hell, etc. After you pass this "test" then the authors and contributors let you onto some really cool and unbelievable stuff, like, who really has Royal claim to the North American continent. Ha!



4 out of 5 starsVery Informative! ^
This is a great book if you plan to travel. It shows all the great places to stop at.
