The Book of the Bizarre
By Varla Ventura
Softcover, 304 pages (retail $14.95)

Take a Halloween hop to the dark side with this wide-ranging collection of freaky facts, way-out stories and scary, stranger-than-fiction tales. Nature’s oddities, history’s mysteries, weird laws, famous hoaxes, murderers, madmen, phobias, UFO encounters, ghost sightings, haunted houses and hundreds of other delightfully unsettling, wildly entertaining tidbits will keep you riveted until long after the leftover trick-or-treat candy is gone.
