Weird history
Matthew Lake, Randy Fairbanks
- Reading
- Try dipping into a few different sections together. Pause over striking claims and distinguish documented history from legend or speculation, without assuming how the book itself makes that distinction.
- Themes
- Unusual and supernatural history: The listed contents include ghost stories, witchcraft and ancient mysteries alongside historical subjects. The collection foregrounds strange and spooky material, but whether it treats supernatural claims as fact, legend or entertainment is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Ghosts, haunted places, cemetery stories, witchcraft, secret societies and an alien-attack story are among the stated subjects. Their level of detail and how frighteningly they are presented are unclear.
