Description

In this book, Corey Taylor undertakes something never before attempted in the history of rock superstardom: he takes you with him as he journeys undercover through various ghostbusting groups who do their best to gather information and evidence about the existence of spirits. Some are more credible than others, and, frankly, some are completely insane, but all are observed with appropriate seriousness as Taylor attempts to better understand some of the spooky things that have happened to him in his life, especially that night at the Cold House.

But that's not all, folks. Taylor once again gives you a behind-the-scenes tour of his crazy life and the many beyond-the-grave events he's encountered. (You'll be shocked how often Slipknot has been invaded by the supernatural). Taylor also touches on his religious background and how it led him to believe in much more than the Man in the Sky.

Titles won't do it justice, just dive in.

What a fantastic mix of subject matter! I came across this book from an interview he participated in, and was expecting it to simply be a collection of his spooky experiences.

It's much more than that. It's intelligent, thoughtful, funny (actual snorts, chuckles and smiles well scattered throughout from me while listening) and yes, even a few spoopy shudders.

Having Corey read what he wrote definitely imparts the right feel for the book. I don't think anyone else could have pulled off the very plainly written personality on paper quite like the Great Big Mouth himself. (the sheer and varied amount of euphemisms for poopy pants, buttholes and more was amazing and I most certainly plan on co-opting some of his colourful exclamations for my daily life. Like calling someone a dick duster. That's *definitely* happening in the near future.)

It's playful and provoking. I know he's a smart man, but I wasn't expecting a genuine and plausible equation for "intelligent energy"!

(Also, that term in and of itself to describe what "ghosts" are, is really cool to me and is definitely accurate to how he speaks on his experiences and thought process)

It's so, so grounded despite also being written by a highly caffeinated man with unmanaged ADD. Meaning that you get these incredible life lesson gems, tidbits of his life, the stories of the intelligent energy he and others experienced, and absolutely sideways tangents where both reader and listener sort of forget what they were talking about to begin with.

If it were anyone else I don't think it would work, but it does here. It makes sense and he asks some very excellent and thought provoking questions that may indeed be answered one day.

I fully plan on listening again, and again.
