Grave Goods

Just because this is a collection of essays about psychics, murderers, strange disappearances, and occult phenomena doesnt mean it isnt funny. With wit, wry curiosity, and redemptive irony John P. OGrady peels back the surface of the seemingly normal to reveal the dubious, the inexplicable, and the outlandish. Grave Goods includes ghost stories, macabre modern legends, and metaphysical investigations, all informed by the natural sciences, history, philosophy, literature, and mythology. From laugh-out-loud funny to eerily thoughtful, these essays reveal the natural world as a place of unnatural surprises and strange beauty. A place where Rip Van Winkle, OGradys college buddies, and ragtag psychics rub shoulders with Buddha, Socrates, and Stephen Kingand it all makes perfect sense.
