Review by Library Journal Review
There's something deliciously demented about two young men who wander the country in search of the bizarre, unexplained, or just plain nutty. Having had success, and plenty of reader response, with their magazine, Weird NJ, in which they documented New Jersey's less celebrated tourist attractions, they felt compelled to expand their research to encompass this entire land of Melon Heads, Phantom Clowns, Foulke Monsters, Prairie Moon Gardens, and Slimy Slim. Chapters are divided into enticing sections-"Fabled People and Places," "Bizarre Beasts," "Gateways to Hell," and "Cemetery Safari," among others-and are remarkably detailed, listing confirmed accounts of the events that have colored the countryside. A more valuable resource than similar titles such as New Roadside America and America Bizarro, which touch only briefly on the freaky attractions, Weird U.S. is a marvelous work of entertainment and the basis for a truly unique vacation. It deserves a prominent place in all public libraries.-Joseph Carlson, Lompoc, CA (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
