Bizarre News by C Michael Forsyth
Full Disclosure: Once upon a time I was a closet fan of the Weekly World News. I was captivated by the over the top headlines and I got a kick reading through pages of strange, outlandish, and weird stories. I never thought for a second that there was any validity to any of them, but that didn’t diminish my enjoyment of reading those stories.
When I discovered that C. Michael Forsyth had written a compilation of stories that never made it onto the pages of that venerable tabloid, I had to read them. Bizarre did not disappoint. Although it has been over two decades since I last read the Weekly World News, the stories felt familiar and comfortable. Reading this book brought fond memories of musings about vampires, the devil, elves, and celestial spirits. This was a treasure trove of delightfully goolish stories. I had a smile on my face as I read the book, which turned out to be a quick read. Even when I was rolling my eyes, I still did it with a smile. Even if the Weekly World News is not your cup of tea, I would still suggest giving it a try. This was a fun trip back in time.
