A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven,or How I Made Peace with the Paranormal and Stigmatized Zealots and Cynics in the Process by Corey Taylor
5.0
Corey Taylor, lead singer for Stone Sour and Slipknot, shows his talent in another area. This is not the first book he's written, but it's the first I've read. He is not your typical metal head rocker. The writing tone is conversational...I could picture sitting in a small diner with a pot of coffee and discussing the tales he tells here and the ideas he has. I could picture sitting around a campfire, but considering he is expounding on ghost stories, that may not be the most comfortable place to be if you want to sleep.
Corey has some brilliant ideas about Intelligent Energy and the formation of ghosts. He has hunted down haunted locations and sought out paranormal experiences, and laid them out in colorful but logical fashion. This is clearly something he's pondered deeply and feels passionately about, and he invites us to share that passion with him. He does apologize several times (in a sorry/not sorry manner) for trying to educate his readers. I will admit that some of the science theories were a little over my head, but that's okay. The theory may have been deep, but he explained it well enough and with enough detail that it was easy to follow along.
I'm very much looking forward to reading his other books now. I know they're not ghost stories, but if they are an equal glimpse into this complex and fascinating mind, I'm sold.
