The Best Of The Hollow Hassle

Does a vast unknown area exist inside the earth? Are there entrances at the North and South Pole? Are World Governments keeping this a closely guarded secret? Is this world inhabited, and are the dwellers inside the earth good or evil? - There are two sets of "unorthodox" beliefs about the interior of our planet - the theory that the earth may be "hollow" and possibly inhabited, and the second that a system of caverns exists beneath our feet that are controlled by both good and evil entities (thus the concept of a hell down below). For over 10 years the author put out a widely circulated newsletter covering this immensely popular subject. Her circle of associates included Richard Shaver, Charles Marcoux and Tal. Here are such stories as: Our Paradise Inside The Center of the Earth ... Astral Inner Earth Kingdoms Are Engaged In Conflict Over Us ... Notes on Life In The Caverns ... In Quest Of The Subterranean World ... Follow Me To The Center Of The Earth. Includes many abstract illustrations and drawings of those who made the "return trip."

Narratives based on conspiratorial and paranoid thinking have become increasingly prominent throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. From the prosaic to the outlandish, conspiracy theories involve aliens and Nazis, underground bases and mind control technology. They range from sinister tales of malevolent reptilian beings infiltrating our government to fears of the New World Order rounding up patriotic Americans and putting them into internment camps. These stories and their underlying concerns have a long history in the U.S. and have often been bolstered by revelations of real conspiracies and cover-ups by private and public entities. This book examines conspiracy theories and the narratives constructed by those who believe and propagate them, providing a unique view of U.S. history and highlighting fears both founded and unfounded.

Spotlighting news articles, historical accounts, and firstperson interviews, this chronicle of human interactions with monsters will convince even the most hardened skeptic of the existence of the bogeyman, bigfoot, werewolves, and swamp creatures. Offering an array of wild reports—from the police officer who begrudgingly responded to a call about a longhaired woman flying over a suburban neighborhood only to find himself calling for backup when she attacked his patrol car to the motorist whose headlights illuminated a sevenfoot tall, wolflike creature that stood on its hind legs—this historical record highlights scary and unbelievable narratives. From slightly demented humans to spinetingling paranormal encounters, each outlandish occurrence is detailed with thorough research and recounted with a storyteller's crafted voice.

When her new editor insists that she replace a guest speaker at a Storytelling Festival off-realm, Violet is ready to scream. Guest-speaker with her recent deadline looming overhead? No. Old-frenemies from early years in her career? Definitely no. A ghost in their hotel room? This definitely not what Violet signed up for!
