Brainwashing is a Cinch! Maratta 1966 Of course I am interested in any book that would allow me to bend people to my will. (The longer I am in this profession, I realize that I really want to be a

Unexplained, aliens, ghosts, weird stuff, and of course the category defying label of WTF.
The End is Near
Hide! Blackschleger 1959 I better read this book quickly. Evidently the end is near – or not so near, since it is 2017. (Although there has been a plague of insanity in the USA that makes me wonder.) Our guy
Prepare for the Apocalypse
Apocalypse 2012: A Scientific Investigation Into Civilization’s End Joseph 2007 These are always fun books after the fact. Here we are, five years later, and civilization is still hanging in there. By a thread, probably, but we’re still here! Look,
Psychic Pets
Submitter: The eyes of the dog and cat on the cover are very disturbing. If glowing ink had been on offer from the publisher, I’m sure this book would have used it.

Cat Astrology Daniels 1976 So what is your cat’s sign? I believe my cats are Pisces. Must be the fish symbol. As I am not a professional on astrology, I can only assume this must mean my cats are all
We Are Not Alone…
Flying Saucers, Serious Business Edwards 1966 Submitter: My local library has a whole shelf of dusty old books on UFOs and aliens. There must have been a serious need for the collection as all of these books are from the
Death in a Bottle
The Brown Bottle Jones 1983 Submitter: Found this in storage (at least that’s our saving grace – this wasn’t on the shelf!) of a small town public library. I have now weeded it. It’s a picture book about a caterpillar who is
Therapeutic Bigfoot
The Psychic Sasquatch and their UFO Connection Laperitis 1998 I am a sucker for books like this on bigfoot, ufos, the Bermuda Triangle and all the other stuff that hangs out in the 000’s. I have been known to settle
