A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven: Or, How I Made Peace with the Paranormal and Stigmatized Zealots and Cynics in the Process

Heavy metal frontman Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour fame offers this fascinating insider look at paranormal investigation and how the otherworldly has affected his life. Taylor’s performance ability is undeniable, and he’s clearly comfortable talking about even the most bizarre and outrageous subjects with ease, making this an absolutely compulsive listen for fans of his music or the macabre. Taylor’s delivery is straightforward and unabashed. While the subject matter is, for the most part, quite dark—e.g., spirits and ghost busting—Taylor brings an air of nonchalance to his reading that allows humor and dark comedy to abound.
