Weird Florida

About

You've been warned! In 1998, the world reeled from the chaos, the madness, the outright horror of "Weird Florida." This demonic collection of stories included the tales of the Key West necrophiliac, the haunted airliner, and the Perdido Key mullet toss. Audiences were unable to resist the lurid lure of this fantastic tome and snapped it up in droves.

Over the next eight years, more and more tales of the bizarre marched across the headlines like zombies staggering through the Florida swamp. The presidential recount. Elian. And the town that banned Satan. Crowds overturned trash cans and smashed plate glass windows until the creators of Weird Florida surrendered and produced "Weird Florida II: In a State of Shock." But the crush was relentless.

Now, to stave it off, the publishers of "WF2" are reissuing the original "Weird Florida." Now children who weren't yet born the first time around can experience the same revulsion and disgust as their parents. People who kept this important work in their water closets until it fell apart can now restock. And disc jockeys in desperate need of filler can again shamelessly steal these amazing tales. AND IT'S ALL TRUE!
