Summary: "Author Roger Manley, dogged investigator of all things weird, drove down many a back road, chatting up locals in order to hear tales of strange stuff like ghosts, bottomless ponds, hubcap ranches, and abandoned insane asylums. Oftentimes, he'd get a response like this: "You said 'weird.' What's so weird about all that? You're talking reg'lar life here in Loosiana!" But more often than not, he would then hear about all kinds of genuine outrageousness by any standards." --Cover, p. 2.
