Publisher's Synopsis

News junkies of the world, rejoice! Here's a follow up to the bestselling News of the Weird that once again shows what you've always known to be true-fact is indeed stranger than fiction. And we can prove it! Gathered here in one hilarious volume are more than 500 of the weirdest, craziest, and most outlandish stories ever to find their way into our nation's newspapers. There are coincidences so bizarre, crimes so unbalanced, and behavior so inappropriate, you won't believe your eyes. But it's all true!

 People who won't take no for an answer
 Far-from-perfect crimes
 Fetishes on parade
 It seemed like a good idea at the time
 Voices in my head, plus the ultimate . . .
 Even we didn't believe these!

About the Publisher

Plume

Plume

Plume was founded in 1970 as the trade paperback imprint of New American Library. In its early history, Plume focused primarily on nonfiction titles, publishing approximately 35 titles per year. In the early 1980s, as trade paperbacks were rapidly becoming the format of choice among a large segment of book buyers, Plume began expanding its reach, and became recognized as one of the pre-eminent trade paperback imprints. The 1980?s saw Plume make its mark with a number of major bestsellers, including Toni Morrison?s Tar Baby, Erica Jong?s Fanny, Russell Baker?s Growing Up, and Gloria Steinem?s Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, among others. Now, in 2014, Plume is publishing 85 to 100 titles a year, and its backlist currently encompasses approximately 700 titles.
