A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Heaven by Corey Taylor
4.0
With this being my first Corey Taylor book I was extremely excited to read it. The promise of ghosts, first-hand paranormal activity & scientific ramblings on how this phenomena was possible was intriguing.
Firstly I noticed that Taylor loves to ramble... a lot. Unnecessary amounts of rambling in order to fill his page quota perhaps, but the book would have been better without. Once I got past the rambling, the stories were quite chilling and made me question whether these activities were the outcome of an over-active imagination on Taylor's part or whether it actually happened. I thoroughly enjoyed reading each of the ghost stories and how each of these gave more details into how Slipknot/Stone Sour toured the country and made their albums.
The book was a great, exciting read which gave me chills when the ghost stories came out to play among the incessant scientific theories and Corey's own beliefs on religion/the paranormal/life. Although, that's not to say that some of the filler writing wasn't pleasant and enjoyable to read, letting Corey's humorous and intelligent personality shine through and never dulling throughout the entirety of the book.
