Join us to discuss "The Most Wonderful Wonder" with the author Holly Samson Hall. Take a dark joyride through American history and uncover the frightful, forgotten pieces of our past.
Read true and tragic tales of sideshow mummies and shoes made from human skin. Learn the real-life origins of enduring murder ballads. Here you'll find stories about exceptional animals, the Ozark witch who could see the future, human wolves on the Oklahoma prairie, a man buried alive 50 feet below ground, medicine show miracles and deadly baby bottles.
The Most Wonderful Wonder offers readers a heady mix of morbid curiosities, macabre fascinations and Gothic Americana extracted from the murky waters of time. If you enjoy horrific history and sad endings, then you'll love this collection of 24 weird and wonderful tales.
