Slipknot and Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor's New York Times
bestselling journey into the world of ghosts and the supernatural
Corey Taylor has seen a lot of unbelievable things. However, many of his
most incredible experiences might just shock you. For much of his life,
the Grammy Award-winning singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour has brushed
up against the supernatural world. Those close encounters impacted his
personal evolution just as much as headlining at Castle Donington in
front of 100,000 people at Download Festival or debuting at #1 on the
Billboard Top 200.
Since growing up in Iowa, his own curiosity drew him into situations
that would've sent most people screaming scared and running for the
hills. He's ballsy enough to go into the darkness and deal with the
consequences, though. As a result, he's seen ghosts up close and
personal, whether while combing through an abandoned house in his native
Iowa as a child or recording an album in the fabled Houdini Hollywood
Hills mansion. He's also got the memories (and scars) to prove it. For
some reason, he can't seem to shake these spectral stories, and that
brings us to this little tome right here...
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven compiles Taylor's most
intimate, incredible, and insane moments with the supernatural. His
memories are as vivid as they are vicious. As he recounts these stories,
he questions the validity of religious belief systems and
two-thousand-year-old dogma. As always, his rapid-fire writing,
razor-sharp sense of humor, unbridled honesty, and cozy anecdotes make
quite the case for his point. You might end up believing him or not.
That's up to you. Either way, you're in for a hell of a ride.
