Absolutely perfect for the current moment. BuzzfeedAmerica s favorite cultural historian and author of Ghostland takes a tour of the country s most persistent unexplained phenomenaIn a world where rational, scientific explanations are more available than ever, belief in the unprovable and irrationalin fringeis on the rise: from Atlantis to aliens, from Flat Earth to the Loch Ness monster, the list goes on. It seems the more our maps of the known world get filled in, the more we crave mysterious locations full of strange creatures.Enter Colin Dickey, Cultural Historian and Tour Guide of the Weird. With the same curiosity and insight that made Ghostland a hit with readers and critics, Colin looks at what all fringe beliefs have in common, explaining that today s Illuminati is yesterday s Flat Earth: the attempt to find meaning in a world stripped of wonder. Dickey visits the wacky sites of America s wildest fringe beliefsfrom the famed Mount Shasta where the ancient race (or extraterrestrials, or possibly both, depending on who you ask) called Lemurians are said to roam, to the museum containing the last remaining evidence of the great Kentucky Meat Showerinvestigating how these theories come about, why they take hold, and why as Americans we keep inventing and reinventing them decade after decade. The Unidentified is Colin Dickey at his best: curious, wry, brilliant in his analysis, yet eminently readable.
